Week 1

-

This week we learned a lot of new and interesting things! First we got to know our classmates that are in the TEP and taking this science course! We also went over the syllabus, NGSS, the three dimensions of frame work, and how to create and post on our blogs. All of this information was very useful and interesting to learn about! Aside from this stuff that we learned in the discussion, in the lecture portion of class we learned about some basic biology which I already had some background in. 



 Things that were clear to me in class were the blog posts and how this works. I think this is a great way to connect with our classmates! Some things that were confusing to me at first was the way that NGSS is set up, after talking through and reviewing each aspect things started to become more clear. 

I can apply my basic understanding of biology to my future teaching by just explaining these simple concepts! I can also use NGSS to set up lessons for my students, now that we know how to read each concept, creating a lesson plan will not be that difficult. I can also use the three dimensions of frame work to help my students understand science better, using step by step processes can make learning easier for students.

Week 15, final week of science ;(

-
 This week in science we wrapped up all of our class sections. We still did some pretty fun stuff in lab and also took of final in our last lecture class.  In lab, we played a really fun game that taught us how to make observations and inferences. We were given a capsule with a mystery item inside. We had to use observations to find our partner who had a matching capsule with the same item on the inside. It was really fun trying to find our match! After we found who we thought was our partner, we had to write down what observations and inferences. Then we wrote down how confident we are that we are a match, then wrote what we thought was in our bottles. We were 100% a match which was awesome. I loved this experiment/ game and would defiantly do something like this with my future students! After this we did another small experiment with baking soda and vinegar.   Then in lecture this week, we took our first chemistry test, yay, but last test/ final for our class. I lo...
