1. Things I learned in today's lesson
The misconceptions students have on weak forces such as there is no gravity in the space, the object in water is not affected by gravity.

2. Things that are new to me
I identified some misconceptions mentioned are true in science concept and the teacher needs to find a way in informing students about it by letting them to discover it by themselves.

3. Things I found interesting
The inquiry based learning is interesting to use in classroom but the teacher needs an extra help or exposure in conducting inquiry based learning in their lesson. If they did not have enough knowledge or capabilities to conduct it, the lesson objectives cannot be achieved and inquiry based learning will be useless in the lesson.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?
During the class, we did an activity on conducting inquiry based learning to rectify the misconceptions on weak forces. This activity helped us in the designing inquiry based learning to be apply in our classroom.

1. Things I learned in today's lesson
The weak nuclear force and the gravitational force.

2. Things that are new to me
Weak nuclear force is a decay of the atom.

3. Things I found interesting
The alpha, beta and gamma ray have their uses in our daily life. This is because I always think that they are dangerous to use and we should not consume it.

4.  How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?
To understand the process of the forces better and can help to understand students point of view if they have any difficulties in the learning this topic.

Week 11 : Misconceptions on Strong Force

# data[].attributes.body
The chosen misconception is only magnets produce magnetic field.

We can address this by introducing "Electromagnetism". Students only know that permanent magnet is the only one that produce magnetic field. This topic will help students to mould their thinking and correct the misconceptions that they have. Electromagnetism happens when there is induction of electricity in the metal objects. We can demonstrate and let students do some activity to enable them see how other objects can produce magnetic fields like magnets.

I cannot make sure it would not reoccur in my next batch of students because I am not their previous teacher but I can advise the previous teacher to avoid create any misconceptions about magnet. In my classroom, I would starts off my lesson by collect information on students understanding of magnetic field and try my best to address the misconceptions that my new batch students have.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Things I learned in today's lesson
Strong forces and weak forces, the characteristics of strong forces, strong nuclear forces, magnetism, electromagnetism and uses of strong forces in our life.

2. Things that are new to me
The strong nuclear force has different meaning in science. I thought nuclear as the natural source, but it is nucleus power and it go depth about the atom.

3. Things I found interesting
The movement of elements in the atom is affected by strong nuclear force and electromagnetic force. At first, I thought because they want to achieve the octet state but they are actually, nuclei will pull the electrons stronger.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?
Understand the movement of elements better so that when my students ask questions about it, I will be able to answer and clarify their questions.

Week 9 : Misconceptions on Gravitational Force

# data[].attributes.body
1. Things I learned in today's lesson
Roles of misconceptions in classroom, categories of misconceptions in classroom, methods to identify the misconceptions and addressed it. I learned about science experiment in addressing the misconceptions on forces.

2. Things that are new to me
The categories of misconceptions. I always thought the misconceptions are one big umbrella and all the incidents happen are under the umbrella. Actually, the big umbrella has 5 sub-parts and those parts are the themes for the misconceptions that occurs. For example, the vernacular misconception is widely detect among students and it is one of the categories under the big umbrella.

3. Things I found interesting
For me, the fact that chameleon changed their skin colour because of the surrounding temperature and communicating with their fellow chameleon. I knew that they changed their colour because they want to camouflage with the surroundings.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?
It makes me realised to know students' current understanding before starts teaching lesson. Addressing the students' understanding would help to know the students' level and incorporate our teaching and learning process to cater their needs. It is good to spot misconceptions early so that I can help my students to be in the correct track with the correct term used for a lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Things I learned in today's lesson
Newton's Law, core ideas of force, contact forces, non-contact forces, gravitational force, gravitational energy, balanced forces, unbalanced forces, net force, and weight.

2. Things that are new to me
Weight is a gravitational forces. I did not know about the weight is the another term of gravitational forces. I learned that mass and weight are different and know the differences between it. During school days, I always confused with the weight and mass; so in today's class, I learned the differences and understand it better.

3. Things I found interesting
The fact that still object has forces or energy acted upon it. Like usually we think the object at rest is only having a gravitational forces and normal forces. Besides those two forces, energy also presence in the still object. The energy presence is potential gravitational energy that acted upon on the still object.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?
I have understand better more on gravitational forces topic and relates it to real life. I should relates the topic to real life so that students can understand better and learning will be more fun and interactive for students and I.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Things I learned in today's lesson
I learned about the core ideas of Force, students definition on force and the acting force on them at the moment, difference of weight and mass, work vs power, as well as contact and non-contact force.

2. Things that are new to me
Normal force are new to me as I don't really remember what I have learned in high school. We did a short class task, surveying students on their understanding of force and my respondents answered normal forces when we asked what forces are acting on you right now. Initially, I was wondering why they are so confident in answering normal forces. After my group presentation about the survey, Ms. Nor explained that normal forces is to balance the gravitational force that is acting on us and avoid us from being pull towards the centre of the Earth.

3. Things I found interesting
Things I found interesting is the contact and non-contact force. I think that I have never learn that in high school.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?
It will help me in understanding students' thinking about forces and find a possible solution to tackle any misconceptions that they may have. I am interested in teaching students with various media and I like the videos that was played in class and hope that I can used that in my future class.

Week 6 : Misconceptions on transformation of energy

# data[].attributes.body
1. Things I learned in today's lesson
I learned about the misconceptions on transformation of energy and the proper way of planning a 5E lesson.

2. Things that are new to me
The template of preparing 5E lesson plan is different from a normal template for lesson planning. In preparing the 5E lesson plan, I realised that I need to be a specific on what I want to do in class, thinking about the content of the lesson and skills that will be apply in the lesson. I also needs to think about the guiding questions, the transition between the stages and more.

3. Things I found interesting
Things I found interesting during the lesson is when Ms Nor pointed out that teacher focus on the effects of the energy rather than the energy itself. For example, like plants uses light to produce photosynthesis for their growth. If we as trainee teacher did not know the basic fundamental of the energy itself, we may confuse our students about energy.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?
Today's lesson helps me to understand the concept of energy better so that I would not confuse or create misunderstanding to my students.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Things I learned in today's lesson
I learned about a proper way in writing lesson plan, transformation of energy, the difference between transformation of energy and energy transfer.

2. Things that are new to me
Things that are new to me is the fact that the energy will be transform to many more ways that I can imagine. Like the kettle can start with an electrical energy then transform to heat energy as well as sound energy or light energy.

3. Things I found interesting
We had a lesson plan presentation before continue with today's slide. Ms Nor mentioned that lesson plan should emphasize on students and if for the teacher, we need to create a teacher plan which is different from my understanding.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?
This will help me to understand better about the energy transformation and energy transfer so that I can help to tackle the misconceptions that students might have.

Hi, I am Farahlina, currently in semester 7 of Bachelor of Education (Primary Education). This padlet page will show my learning progress in Science Energy and Forces Aug 2018 module.

I come from a family of 6; I am the eldest siblings and only daughter in the family. I was born in Melaka and grew up in Kuala Lumpur. To be honest, I took civil engineering during my high school and plan to continue with engineering for my higher education. After SPM, I realized that I am not suitable for the engineering course, it is not because the subjects are tough. This is because my personality test does not suit the career that I am aiming for and I should enjoy my career life instead of been stressing about it. My personality suit to be a teacher and that was one of the reason why I want to be a teacher.

Besides, I want to be a teacher because I want to connect and interact with students from various background. This will help me to broaden my knowledge about the world that they live in and I want to inspire them to be the change that they want the the world to be. For example, I have a simple ethical vision that I want to instill in students and want to change the world in which I live, the vision is to clean up your table after eating to easy the work of the employee and for other people to sit after you. The vision looks simple and easy to do, but some people do not care about it. In order to make this happen, we need to make a baby step by instilling the vision to students which can create a ripple effect.

1. Things I learned in today's lesson

I learned about the ways of teaching science and the framework of teaching science as well as the science curriculum of Singapore syllabus.

2. Things that are new to me.

Things that are new to me is the domains under the inquiry-based methods. There are 3 domains and each domain has their own role in shaping the learners to be a scientific literate students.

3. Things I found interesting.

I found that the syllabus are set by following students level of understanding and from concrete thinking to abstract thinking. It will help students to grasp the learning process in a better way because of their level of understanding and some topic related to their daily life.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher?

Knowing about the curriculum and the framework will help me to know what it is set for my students. I should try my best to follow the guidelines that I have learned from the syllabus.

1. Things I learned in today's lesson

I learned about the meaning of the core and conducting a short survey about energy.

2. Things that are new to me

Things that are new to me is the analysis part of qualitative research. For example, in class earlier, we need to come up with a theme from the responses and make a conclusion with it.

3. Things I found interesting

As we did not cover much on this week topic, I found the assignment briefing where we need to do an Augmented Reality E-book is interesting. I think the assignment is quite challenging as we need to create the material for the Augmented Reality and E-book as well as not taking anything from the website. I was thinking about the assignment after I received the notification from Classroom as how am I going to cope with my another workload such as Action Research and Community Service activities TT I thought that Ebook can only be created by using Google Docs but today, I found out that we can use Canvas to create Ebook. In order to make this assignment work, I need to master in using Canvas as well as HP Reveal which is for creating the Augmented Reality. Why is this briefing is interesting to me? This is because I need to be an expert in teachnology in a short period of time and there are a lot of things for me to learn and I bet it will be interesting to experience it. By the way, I still have questions to ask, how are we going to add the augmented reality trigger to the Ebook?, how the students want to see the overlay of the triggers?, do they scan the trigger using their smartphone while reading the book on their laptop or tab?.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher

This week's lesson will help me in knowing the core of energy and forces and preparing me for my teaching career. Based on the survey that we conducted today, we are able to recognise the misconceptions that students have on Energy and we should not ignore the misconceptions without finding solutions in solving it. I believe that in the next class, we will be discussing ways or solutions in correcting the misconceptions that students have on energy and will help me in future if I have a students with similar misconceptions..

1. Things I learned in today’s lesson

Things I learned in today’s lesson is a continuation of week 2 slides and week 3 slides. The topics that I learned today are the importance of conserving energy, the core ideas of energy, the Law of Conservation of Energy, the total amount of energy in the end is the same amount of energy in the beginning, constructivist approach in learning science and scientific inquiry method.

2. Things that are new to me

Things that are new to me is the total amount of energy in the end is the same amount of energy in the beginning. I usually think that energy will be used up and at the end of the day, we will lose our energy due to the activities that we did during the day. Actually, my thinking is wrong and the energy that I have at the first place is converted to various form of energy throughout the day. By the way, I think the misconceptions that I have for the energy transformation is because of Milo advertisement. Milo ads state that “there are no energy left at the end of the day if you did not drink Milo in the morning”. I understand that the statement is to promote their product but children may have misconceptions about it if the adults did not explain properly the meaning of the statement. I found and have attached a Milo poster which can help adults to explain the statement properly and correct the misconceptions.

3. Things I found interesting

I found that the Olympics Tokyo 2020 will used various form of energy for the sports festival such as using wind and solar energy to light up the stadiums and athletes villages. The Japanese utilizes their energy sources to the fullest which makes me wonder how their mind work.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher

Knowing about the core ideas of energy and law of conservation of energy will help me to understand better about the topic. In one of the activity we did in classroom, we created actions to suit the song and I think we should incorporated it to our lesson for energy. The song includes the core ideas of energy as well the law of conservation of energy which is good for students to learn and caters to student with various learning needs. The list of examples that I have from this week lesson can be helpful in explaining the topic to students because it related to their life.

1. Things I learned in today’s lesson

Since I am absent in today’s class because I am away for my professional practicum, I learned from the slides and notes from my friends. I learned about the misconceptions in Energy and Forces theme. Based on the slides, there are many misconceptions that students have and the causes of these misconceptions. Also, I learned about the differences between mistake and misconception.

2. Things that are new to me

The fact that we see certain colour because the object absorbed the colour around them and reflect certain colours only. This is called an opaque object. For example, why we see the chair is green? The chair which is the opaque object absorb the surrounding colour and reflect green as its colour. Actually, there are various colour inside the chair, but we can see green only because the chair is an opaque object.

3. Things I found interesting

Our surrounding can brings any misconceptions to us and it is not only on topic that we learn in school. Everything that happens around us can create a misconceptions if we did not have enough information about it and just believe it as how we see it. Young children is the most vulnerable in having misconceptions because they tend to believe things that happen around them without questioning much or try to look for more information.

4. How will this knowledge help me as a science teacher

This misconceptions knowledge will help me as a science teacher because it can help me in recognising the origin of the misconceptions that students have and try to find a good approach to tackle the misconceptions. The misconceptions that students have must be addressed as early as we can to avoid more misconceptions when they are growing up. Personally, I have a confusion of weight and mass in a science context. I am still struggling with it even though I have learnt it so many times in primary and secondary school. So, I do not want my future students face the same difficulties as me and by having this knowledge, I can help them to understand better about science and change their thinking if there is any misconceptions that I spot on.
