Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!
Today my group, group 5 finally presented our second lesson. Today's lesson was created on Nearpod and it was about renewable energy and natural resources.We went over our class rules and virtual expectations and also reminded the students about our attention grabber, and had them reply back to us with the phrase. We then transitioned into an activity that would help activate the students prior knowledge by showing the Flipgrids they created for the heat spinner activity and having it tie back to renewable energy and natural resources. After, we did an activity on Answer Garden where they could write their thoughts/ideas on what rentable energy & natural resources are in their own words. Some of the students were a bit confused about the question, but after we showed the mystery science video relating to the topic and providing students with definitions of each term it started to make sense to them. We played a sorting game after, and students had to sort different categories and place the corresponding terms into the bucket to receive points. The students said they really enjoyed the game when we had a discussion based on what they posted on the collaborative board. Our brain break was after and it had to do with Thanksgiving I had so much fun doing it! We then watched a chain reaction video relating to the Rube Goldberg model again and we asked to students to "see, think, wonder" what resources are being used or how everything in the reaction worked. Then Valerie discussed our Boulderville energy plan assignment in which students had to decide what renewable energy/ natural resources were going to help make the town run. In class they all shared some good insights I can't wait to see what they have in store for us! Finally, we did an activity win which we asked the students to draw a face desiring how they felt after our lesson. Everyone mostly drew happy faces which was so nice to see! We then said goodbye to them.
I am so proud of my group! Despite some hiccups we powered through and kept going. I believe it all went great and I really enjoyed this experience!
