Lesson Reflective Rocks Lesson 4

The students enjoyed turning their rocks into personal pets and writing reports about their physical properties. However, some students struggled with writing complete sentences to describe ways to sell their pet rock. The lesson objectives were met by 85% of students, who were able to use vocabulary to describe their rocks. The activity engaged students in science understanding and sense-making. The teacher's content knowledge enabled supporting students' knowledge construction. In the future, the teacher would spend more time teaching advertising to help all students write advertisements for their pet rocks.

Lesson Reflective Summary

Teacher Candidate for Science Endorsement: Jiann Yi Liu (Jenny)

Instructor: Dawn Hudson

School: Norton Park Elementary School Grade: Third Grade

Lesson Topic: Rocks and Minerals (Mystery Minerals)

Write a brief summary of your experiences teaching this lesson, addressing the following
questions:

What went well? What did not go well? (Cite specific examples)
The students were very excited to turn their rock into their own personal pet. They
each had to write their own pet rocks physical properties and performed the simple
tests on them. Even though they felt bad when they did the hardness test on their
pet rock, they were still very into the project.
What did not go well?
Students had to spend some time writing their pet rock report. Some students
had difficulty writing a complete sentence and came up with a creative way for
people to buy their pet rock.

How well were the lessons student performance objectives attained?


The lesson objective was met by 85% of the students. The students were using
the rubrics creating their pet rock advertising poster. But most of the students
were able to use the physical attributes vocabulary to describe their pet rock.

Did classroom activity center on science understanding, inquiry, and sense-


making by all students?
The classroom activity was centered around science understanding, inquiry, and
sense=making by all students. The students were very engaged with the activity.
The teacher had a small group discussion with the students who had difficulties
came up with the words to advertise their pet rock.

Did your scientific content knowledge enable you to support students


construction of knowledge and understanding of important scientific concepts
and processes?
Yes, my scientific content knowledge enable me to support students
construction of knowledge and understanding of important scientific concepts
and processes. Before the lesson, I reviewed the background knowledge on
rocks and minerals. Also I reviewed the misconception on rocks and minerals.

When you have the opportunity to re-teach this lesson, what will you do
differently (strategies, teaching tools, assessments, etc.) to improve student
learning for all students?
When I have the opportunity to re-teach this lesson, I would have more time to
teach what an advertising is. Due to the time constrain, the students did not have
a fully grasp how to write an advertising. Most of the students wrote about why
their rocks were the best.
