Week 12

 What did you learn this week

    This week we reviewed our homework 11 assignments and had to write on a white board three things we learned, two things we found interesting, and one question we have from the reading. I will attach my group’s white board below. 

    Another thing we did in class was we performed multiple different experiments on the following items: big eraser, small eraser, big paper clip, small paper clip, small birthday candle, big birthday candle, big marble, small marble, small crayon, big crayon, big wood block, small wood block, old penny, and new penny. We explored how the different sizes or different ages of the materials would perform in different experiments. The different experiments were: Mass, Volume, Electricity, Ability to Float, and whether or not they were Magnetic. 

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

    Some of the things I learned from the reading like the different grade band end points, what topics are difficult for some students, etc. will be really beneficial for when I am trying to figure out what I should be teaching. I don’t want to teach things are aren’t crucial or important at all and waste the students’ times.  

What are new or remaining questions? 

    A question I still have would be, what are ways I can help teach my students topics/subjects that I am not confident about? What are some resources to help with these certain subjects?
