Week 11
What did you learn this week
Something I learned and thought was interesting this week is that if you are confused by a reaction or something happening then that can mean you are truly intelligent because you understand how things should work and when they don't the way you think they should, you question it.
How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future?
Some things I can apply to my future teaching would be the different mini experiments that we did in our lab today. There were six stations of mini experiments. Those stations were:
1. Cold Soda
2. Plunger Push
3. Melting Ice
4. Coke Float
5. Baking Soda and Vinegar
6. M&Ms in Water
We had to come up with questions about each experiment and what confused us. I think this is a really great concept to do with my future students because asking questions can ignite curiosity.
I included pictures from some of these experiments below.
What are new or remaining questions?
Some of the questions my group came up with during this lab were:
- How cold does something have to be to create condensation?
- Why did the mixture of baking soda and vinegar get colder when they were mixed?
- Would the M&M coating come off with any liquid or just water?
Hi Taryn! I like how you included implementing these experiments into your future classroom, I think this would be a great way to involve students, keep them engaged, and encourage them to think more deeply about these topics. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi Taryn, I agree implementing these experiments into our future classrooms would be a great idea to engage students. I really liked the questions you asked about these experiments they were very similar to mine. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi Taryn! I also really enjoyed this lab and will be using these experiments in the future. I agree that asking questions is the key to learning. When you have questions, you are thinking about what you don't already know and encouraging yourself to learn new things and ideas!
