Hello Jennifer,

I have found that parent involvment helps children learn a topic even more. I also agree that teaching STEM requires patience but I think even more then patience a teacher (parent o...

Hello Erica,
I completely agree with the other two posts. I love using books to introduce topics after you read the books you can create lists in the classroom about observations or facts that were learned from the book (directly or indirectly) and predictions or questions the students might have.

Child directed
I did enjoy this lesson I would say it is a great example of following the direction of your students. The students had an observation and the teacher took the oppurtunity to explore their interest in depth. The part I felt really inspired to use in the classroom was the use of a collective model that was ever changing as the children learned more and changed their own models. I would also have to agree with Kims review about the think pair share I can understand how the pairing of two individuals that have varying abilities could possibly not go the way we intend. However I do feel it is important to try because that modeling can be invaluable to a child who does not understand how anyone can folow, understand, and add their own understanding on to science concepts It seems to be highly dependent on your classroom dynamics and each students interest in improvement.
