Atom Assignment


I feel the lesson on The Inside of an Atom for a 7th grade class went extremely well. The students seemed to really enjoy themselves and understood the material. The students loved making their atom models and grading each other on it.

This not only them to do peer grading, but also showed me they really know all the elements of an atom and that the lesson stuck as they were correcting each on what they missed in their model.

The lesson even worked well with my ELL students. They did have some accommodations, but still the lesson was still an overall success as they were able to explain what they learned and were able to do their own models.

My First Blog

I'm quite excited to start this blog as I've never done anything like this before. Although I don't have much to say right now, I hope to add more as I go along and create a fun blog. Science will be the main focus of my blog, but I may delve into other subjects and really express myself.
