The inquiry lesson plan focused the execution of the scientific method. First, we reviewed the scientific method with the students. Then, Michael and I modeled the process that the students were going to use in their experiment. We then showed the students a prezi on magnets which would aid their understanding of the topic for the experiment. The students then conducted an experiment using the scientific method on the topic of magnets and liquid. During the experiment students were to fill out a graphic organizer following the scientific method. At the end of the lesson we had all the groups communicate their results to finish out the scientific method.
Reflection
As we worked through the direct lesson I could feel the students excitement of the topic. This lesson was to allowed students to explore the scientific method. This lesson workout very well and the students were engaged in the experiment and the scientific process. The one thing I should have changed the plan for presenting. We only had 5 students in our class that day and we had the time. I should have allowed all the students to present on their own. This would have allowed everyone to see how each person can get different results. We also ran out of time and did not get to give the students their post-assessment sheet. I did not think I would enjoy teaching Science but, I had a very good time teaching this topic.
