Blog Post Week 2

  1. This week in lab I learned about the characteristics of living things. They all have cellular composition in which some are multicellular or unicellular. They also must be able to reproduce. We also learned about the structure of a seed.
  2. I can apply what I learned in teaching because I now have an idea of how I can visually teach students about living things and their structure. Putting the seed in the cup with water was a great way for students to understand that seeds need water and sunlight to grow. They can slowly see how it grows on a weekly basis.
  3. One I have are what are more creative ways we can teach our students the structure of living things? How do we balance lecturing and hands-on learning while still making sure our students are retaining necessary information?

    Hi Sid! I love your post! I have the exact same question and almost fear being able to balance lecturing vs hands on learning. Im really impressed with your groups drawings and I really enjoyed your insight about this weeks lab!

 1. What did I learn this week? Today in lab, we learned about and developed a particle model of the plunger. When the plunger is pushed down on a smooth surface, it sticks. When the plunger gets pushed down, the air is forced out and cannot come back in because a vacuum is created inside. There is no space for the air to go inside, making it stick to the surface. We also learned about why ice melts faster on metal than on wood. We concluded that metal has less gaps/holes in their particle makeup. When the ice hits the ice, there are more collisions happening which heats up the ice and causes it to melt. The wood's particle makeup has more air pockets causing less collisions. 2. Which parts did I find confusing? The most confusing part of the lab was explaining why ice melts faster on metal. This process took forever for me to figure out. Once we understood the particle makeup of the materials, it helped me to understand particle collision better. 3. How can I apply this to teachin...
