10-23-08 - Mid-term Lesson Plan Presentations

Today we started presenting our Mid-term Lesson Plans. All the lessons were so good. Everyone had such fun activities to do and the topics covered a number of areas of science. Topics covered in the lessons today included: mixtures, habitats, sinking/floating, oil and water reactions, and living and non-living things. Each lesson took just a little different approach and they were all unique in some way. There were also some very neat videos used in the lessons.

Today, my partner and I presented our lesson on sinking/floating. I thought that the lesson went very well. I feel that we were very prepared and were well organized so things ran very smoothly in the short time we had to do the activity. My only regrets are that we did not have enough time to have the class create science journal entries and that we did not discuss the results. I think that this would have been a neat thing for them to do and it would have allowed them to see the comprehensiveness of our lesson.
