My NSTA / Peers / Lauren Walls

Hello! My name is Lauren Walls, and I am studying Early Childhood Education at Wright State University, and now I'm working on my 4th and 5th grade Generalist Endorsement. I love children and have a passion for helping them learn new things. Growing up, I didn't particularly enjoy science - mostly because it was a lot of textbook reading and worksheets, and I just didn't connect to it. Now that I'm older, I have dipped my feet into a few teaching experiences where I taught science lessons in a fun, interactive way that really helped students connect to the material. I am eager to learn more about teaching science to all elementary students using the best practices!

Hi there! Your lesson sounds pretty good so far! I think you could deepen the content for your students by tweaking a few simple things. I just recently read this article, and I think it'll help you add one more element to your KWL chart - the E (evidence), which is definitely appropriate for 4th graders.

Science 101: What Is Gravity?

Tue, May 21, 2019 9:35 PM
Great, informative read

Looking to solidify your definition of gravity? Look no further! This article will help you understand gravity by conveying a definition, offering explanations, and giving examples. The author, a former astronaut, keeps readers interested with humorous remarks scattered throughout the article. Additionally, Nelson addresses a few misconceptions and misunderstandings, and it's crucial for teachers to be aware of these to prevent further misconceptions from occurring in students' learning. This article is perfect for teachers who need to “brush up” on their understanding of gravity, force of attraction, and zero-gravity. Great read!
