My kids LOVED playing BLOOKET once a week to review what was taught in class. The level of excitement was palpable. :) https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724901442 2021-09-08 13:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724901442 https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724905611 At home we did some experiments which really engaged my students. We could not do many hands on activities in class because of Covid]]> 2021-09-08 13:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724905611 Add more student voice and experience to science lessons https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724907571 2021-09-08 13:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724907571 Continue creating instructional videos reviewing French vocabulary based on each of the four Science units in the Curriculum. https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724914611 2021-09-08 13:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724914611 Making outdoor learning a solid focus when the weather is good. My students love it. https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724918045 2021-09-08 13:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724918045 Using videos and games because kids love having fun! Therefore if we can incorporate this somehow into our teaching/learning it helps the students practice and learn while having fun doing it! eo211166 https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724924511 2021-09-08 13:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724924511 I also used Quizizz to create my own questions of review for both my Grade 2 and Grade 4 Science classes. There is a free version and the kids can play this at home in preparation for writing class quizzes. https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724924956 2021-09-08 13:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724924956 Primary Science https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724929234 Hands on, hands on , hands on work! Not much teacher talk.
I put things into hands and get them to do simple experiments. You do not need much equipment. Often just a strip of paper.
Balancing rulers. Vinegar and baking soda. Never gets old! We built obstacle courses using cardboard boxes ! They loved it!]]> 2021-09-08 13:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724929234 I like using videos to help connect and teach. I try to do videos that also put things into song for those learners who can connect better with the arts. I had a whole class singing a song on condensation and evaporation. Its funny https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724929453 2021-09-08 13:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724929453 Teaching Science Asynchronously https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724929794 I had to teach science Asynchronousl.yMeaning that they did not have direct instruction for science. What worked was having my class create a model of a playground. They had to explain the materials they used (structure), or incorporate a simple machine)]]> 2021-09-08 13:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724929794 eo211166 https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724930196 2021-09-08 13:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724930196 Here is a link for a video created by Alice Keeler just yesterday that explains how to synch Quizizz with Google Classroom. https://padlet.com/vs202181/gbpna4grdeikdq5l/wish/1724930345 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K21CZB4f4EM
