Student+Work

=Here are examples of students working and student work:=

MYP1:
Students practice lab techniques and they had to complete a lab write up. In reflection, the students did not learn as much as originally wanted. I plan on improving this lesson by giving the students the lab ahead of time so they know what is expected of them the following day. I will review lab techniques first and then complete the lab. The final lab reports by the students showed complete understanding of the scientific method by a majority of the students.





Students classify whales according to their scientific names. Reflection, students did an excellent job with this classification. I used whales because the students really seemed interested in this topic. A majority of the students were able to classify new animals according to scientific name. I plan to change this lesson by using organisms the students are interested in.





Students test how sound travels through water very similar to how. Students enjoyed this lab a lot and the concepts introduced were, speed, and characteristics of how living things are classified. One problem I found is that the pans I used had holes in them, and they were flimsy. I plan on using plastic containers instead.







Other MYP1 Student work:

MYP2:
Students work on how to create parallel and series circuits. Reflection, they did amazing on this concept. They were able to demonstrate their understanding in a lab practical. The only thing I would change for this lesson is make sure all the batteries and light bulbs work before giving them over to the students. Several times the students would get frustrated because the materials did not work.



Students measure the GPE and KE of a stuffed elephant falling from different heights around the school. Reflections, very successful unit, the students mastered this concept on their test.



understanding of the periodic table. Here are their lab write up and results:








a great understanding of the physics concepts.
