Elementary Science Methods 2: Week #10

What did you do in the lab today?

• This week in the lab, we began by completing a formative assessment on rocks. From this, we began reviewing our previous assignment, activitymania. We discussed with one another how we assess our student's learning and how we can step into a more equitable approach. We finished with creating our own sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks out of Starburst (see in photos below). 

What was the big question?

• Is it a rock?

What did you learn in Thursday's discussion?

• In Thursday's discussion we began our unit on plate tectonics. 

Pressbook:

• What did you learn?
• I expanded my knowledge of the structure of the earth. Specifically, each layer of the earth's crust, mantle, inner and outer core. I learned about what each layer is made up of. 
• What was most helpful?
• The visuals I always find are most helpful for my learning to connect the information to a picture.
• What do you need more information on?
• None!

5. What Questions, concerns, or comments do you have?

• No questions at this time.
