Problem Solving Approach!

This weeks lab was centered around problem-solving approach!  This has been one of my favorite labs so far! My lesson plan was on the Scientific method and included an activity to show how it can be used. Students would pass around a box that would ring every so often. Students would have to use the scientific method by coming up with a hypothesis, make predictions, and experiments to figure out why the box is ringing.

I had a few gems this week that include the activity I used and timing. People in the lab really enjoyed my activity! They had fun learning the scientific method by figuring out why the bell was ringing. Another gem was I able to complete everything I wanted in the time allowed.


My opp for this week is I need to explain and be clear with my directions. Sometimes I rush through them and miss a detail, so they become unclear. Then I have to take the time to re-explain when students don't understand.
