Week 5

 What did you learn this week? 

This week we learned more about the 5Es and we critiqued an actual lesson plan. We got to see how we all scored the lesson plan and we got to hear everyone's different reasonings. It was very interesting. See below image. 

We also started to learn about Ecology, which is the study of organisms and how the relate to one another and their physical surroundings. 

We also checked in on our butterflies and our fast plants. One out of three of our butterflies have come out of their chrysalis phase. Our fast plants have also grown quite a bit in the last week. See images below. 

Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already know? 

I am able to relate what we have learned to what I already know because I already know about animals and different places. What I didn't know a whole lot about was how the different animals and organisms interact with each other and how many ecosystems there are. 

How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future? 

I can apply this new material to my future teaching by after teaching my students this material I can have them do their own research and create their own food chain and/or food webs. This would be a great hands on project for them to do because they are researching and learning and then also creating. They could each share their food chains/webs that they created with the class.
