At the beginning of the week, I had planned a photo scavenger hunt for the light and optical unit that occurs in grade eight science. As I walked around the halls, I found students incredibly engaged in scientific discussion. This was so exciting and encouraging for me to see! Reasons why I believe this was an incredibly successful lesson:
- Use of technology (students took photos on their Smart-phones)
- Getting students up on their feet!
- Allowing students outside of our classroom walls
- Finding real-world applications of the units content!
- Competition aspect-Students had a time limit and were rewarded points
