Thread:Reflection on first experiment (1)

After teaching the first graders about bones and their strength, I feel that our lesson plan was a success! There were some incidents where the students started arguing over who was going to make the paper bones but other than that, our lesson ran smoothly and I am very proud of the results. If there was one thing that I could change or add to our lesson,it would be that I wish that we could of read to the students a picture book from the Magic School Bus. I feel that this would have contributed to their understanding of bones and what is important for them to stay healthy. Making experiments and graphs is one way to apply to the eight-multiple intelligences of students, and incorporating reading and literature is another. I am very impressed with what we have accomplished and look forward to the future lesson plans. -Lauren Martin
