Science Work Day

Yesterday was a work day in Science Methods class and I was very pleased to have this work day because I feel it was much needed during this busy time of year. I know that many of my classmates were also happy to have a work day so they could talk with other students working on their final projects in order to get some ideas. It was nice to also talk to others about where they located some of the materials needed for the final project, such as the NSES standards. I like having workdays and I know that they will allow us to develop even better lessons than we had intended because we have been allowed a great amount of time to develop them so they will be at their best! Work days are also great because they are a convient time for ALL of the group memebers to meet so they can all be incorporated in developing the lesson plan.

Elk Point Science Fair

Taking part in the Science Fair held at Elk Point was a great experience that I enjoyed. I was glad that I had the opportunity to take part in such a supporting event. I always like having the opportunity to have more time in a classroom and this experience not only allowed me to evaluate the students work, but also see how much work and time these projects had been for the students. It was neat to see how much passion some had for the experiments and discoveries they had found! Some of the students amazed me with their knowledge and some of experiments they had come up with! I was an amazing experience and would encourage more college professors to give their students the opportunity to judge or simply view similar events. I was a little unsure about the Science Fair when I was first informed of it but now that I have went through with the experience I am very glad that I did! It was a great experience!
