Once again I had a wonderful time with my 5th graders. The students were so focused on getting their circuits completed and really worked well in partners and in their table groups. With a limited supply of wires, batteries and bulbs, they had to share these in order to make my challenges work. Students were challenged to make several types of circuits: simple circuit, series circuit, parallel circuit. They even had time to create and try making their own circuits.
5th graders: What do you think about being able to document your own learning, explorations and projects in science by taking pictures or creating a video? How do you think we could make it work?
Leave me a comment with your suggestions. I’d really like to hear what you think about it. I know that you all love to take pictures and be in pictures. Yet there is only me running around in class trying to capture all of you. Maybe we can come up with a way that you can help me and your classmates.
