This morning's conversation with Emma helped me gain perspective on the Copper in Brass laboratory experiment.  The big take away is how similar our students respond to their informal and formal assessments. Emma helped me identify the strengths in the experiment and areas for additional focus/redirection.

We've brainstormed ways to incorporate inquiry based labs with student chosen questions to demonstrate, reinforce, and further explore these concepts. ]]> 2016-10-06 14:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ushah1/ivao8vfiq0pd/wish/128818482 Kathleen F.   https://padlet.com/ushah1/ivao8vfiq0pd/wish/128819168 The topic is a key concept in physiology. Feedback provided an insight to develop an assessment that allows an opportunity for students to teach each other. One idea is for students to create an analogy for an action potential and to explain how and why their choice is analogous. The students might use the model of a "flipped classroom video" with themselves as the instructor to show their analogy.

This is a draft of an assessment that I will be giving later this year for the plate tectonics unit. https://padlet.com/ushah1/ivao8vfiq0pd/wish/128819567 2016-10-06 14:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ushah1/ivao8vfiq0pd/wish/128819567 Station Activity: Measurement, Lab Safety, & Technique https://padlet.com/ushah1/ivao8vfiq0pd/wish/128826278 Grade 6:
