Today in class, we went over our midterm project. We discussed safety considerations when performing science experiments. Students need to know what is exactly expected of them before, during, and after the experiment. Many potential hazards can be eliminated if you have an organized disciplined classroom. We then discussed how to properly judge a Science Fair fairly.
Also in class, we did an activity from FOSS. We talked about how learning is a skill that is enhanced by repetition. Also about how memory is enhanced by active firsthand experiences, multiple senses, and emmotional engagement. The activity we did was called Mirror Writing. The activity was set up by using mirrors that are tilted on a piece of blank paper. During the experiment, the person could only use the mirrors to see what they are writing. This activity helps students learn how to write by looking in a mirror.
