After implementing the inquiry lesson on heat energy, I reflected on how the lesson went. The kids loved it! They really enjoyed "doing the action" instead of just watching. My students experiemented with heat energy. The placed a birthday candle in a pan that was on a hot plate. The candle melted. They also observed what happened to the candle when heat was removed from the situation. I have two student work sameples to show.
What a cute lesson. I am guessing this lesson was for the elementary school? Did you teach them about heat energy first or was this an introductory lesson?
ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI love that these students are getting science at such an early age (inquiry at that)! The student work samples were great. Do you design many inquiry lessons like this for your students?
I love that the kids are actually SEEING what is happening. All ages of kids need this to completely understand what is going on in science. The more they see it, the more they believe it and the more they remember it. Good job!
