Elementary Science Methods 2: Week #8

What did you do in the lab today?

• In this week's lab, we presented our presentations on all kinds of different topics. These topics included the Origins of the Universe, Lifecycles of Stars and Galaxies, Origins of the Earth, Black Holes, and Exploration of Space: Past, Present, and Future. During these presentations, we took notes on these ideas to expand our knowledge. 

What was the big question?

• The big question was: If it is the Winter solstice in Iowa, how much sunlight is on the South Pole?

What did you learn in Thursday's discussion?

• In Thursday's discussion, we continued our discussion of each of the topics we presented in the lab on Monday. We discussed the article on misconceptions and how you should address them as a science educator. We studied Origins of the Universe, Lifecycles of Stars and Galaxies, Origins of the Earth, Black Holes, and Exploration of Space: Past, Present, and Future in-depth to understand the meaning of each one.
