Group:
Our group today discussed what we're going to
be doing for the next PLC showcase. Our current plans is to have a
discussion of the evidence behind student-led activities and two example
classroom activities that observers can try out. Two possible
activities are the isolation of DNA and an inquiry investigation into
what causes color changes in a solution.
Me:
My chemistry classes have been working on their projects to show orders of magnitude, and it has generally been more organized than the last time. Giving the students smaller "chunks" of projects to work on at a time has helped make immediate goals more obvious, and has seemed to somewhat increase student creativity, since they are more comfortable once they know what they're doing.
My next major project is measuring velocities with my physical science classes. They seem to be getting a good grasp of the ideas behind velocity and acceleration. My changes for this year will be to include more background research and brainstorming, as well as looking at the relative speed of different objects and phenomena.
