Week 12

-

 This week in science we did another really fun hands on experiment for our lab portion of class. And in lecture we talked about some different chemistry type ideas. 

In lab, we did a longer experiment where we had to test different objects to see if the sank, floated, and conducted electricity. We also recorded their mass and volume while conducting the other portions of our experiment. 

I liked this experiment a lot, it was really fun and not something that we get to do all the time! It also was fun because I had done an experiment like this one when I was in elementary school and we always had a blast getting to do hands on activities. It also made me feel like a kid again which was awesome. I also really liked doing this again so that when I do an experiment like this with my future students I know how to conduct it and help my students when they need it. 

Here's a photo I took of one of my group members and I testing out which materials conduct electricity. We had a blast doing this because we all made predictions of what materials would conduct electricity and which ones would not. 

After this week, I still think that I understand the content that is being presented to us. I do not really have any questions in regard to the lesson or how I would do this with my students. I think that in class we had a great introduction to this lesson and everything was super clear and easy to follow.

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...
