Week 2

 

Lab Week Two

Focus Questions: 

The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions? 


1. What did you learn this week? 

This week during lab we learned more about the characteristics of living things. I knew of some characteristics before but I didn't realize there was so much to it. I suppose I just didn't put too much thought into it. 

2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? 

During the lab this week, we talked about germination and I already knew the basics of germination such as sunlight, water, and warmth. I didn't realize the seed needs to be a good one, and the soil needs to be full of nutrients. 

3. What are new or remaining questions? 

One question I have from this week would be what age is a good age to start teaching students about germination? and photosynthesis?

    Hi Kallea! I also knew the idea of germination, but didn't know certain things were a big part of it, as well. I also wonder about the right age of elementary students to be teaching what we learned this week to. Your post looks great!

    Hi Kallea!
    I really appreciated how you highlighted the duality of what you knew and had learned this week. Your efforts really highlight how we as teachers can not only build off of our own prior knowledge but further build our student's prior knowledge as well. Finally, I think the inclusion of your poster was a great way to visualize your thinking patterns. Overall, great job :)

Week 6

   Lab Week Six Focus Questions:  The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions?  1. What did you learn this week?  This week I learned more about turtles and what happens after they hatch or not even hatch and what happens to them. I learned that turtles follow the moonlight after they hatch. I also learned that other lights can deter turtles from making it to the ocean because they can get confused.  2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?  In my 5th grade class, we did this same exact lesson, we grew the same plants and then pollinated them with dead bees. I learned more about the cycle of the plant now than I did in 5th grade.  3. What are new or remaining questions?  Why do turtles follow the light to the ocean??

week 8

  Lab Week Eight Focus Questions:  The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions?  1. What did you learn this week?  I learned about the pairing in genes and about how you can tell if there is a alter in it just by one letter.  2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?  I have already learned about the letter pairing in genes, I learned about it in my high school years. I learned more about those things in this week's lab.  3. What are new or remaining questions?  I wonder which set of genes were altered in my DNA that created a birth defect in me.

Week 7

    Lab Week Seven Focus Questions:  The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions?  1. What did you learn this week?  This week I missed lab because I was ill but I was able to retrieve this week's lab slides. Since I can only go off what I retrieved I learned about how DNA goes into protein from the video we watched. I also learned about what goes into DNA, protein, and the process.  2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?  In high school, we did the baby experiment where we flipped a coin to determine what the baby would look like so I am well versed on that. I think it is a good experiment for middle-aged kids because it helps them understand the idea of how genetics works.  3. What are new or remaining questions?  A question I have would have to be ...
