Work Day

Today Dr. E decided to give her physical science classes a work day which I thought was amazing. My group for the midterm project had no idea what we were going to do or where to even start. Dr. E calmed us down and gave us some suggestions of where to go to find different experiment options. After a little while, my group was finally able to find an experiment that would be for kindergartens; this is exactly what my group was looking for! After finding out what we were going to do, we approved the idea by Dr. E and then immediately got started. One person was the recorder who wrote down on a sheet of paper the steps of our experiment, another person worked on a worksheet that we are going to have in our experiment, and I started writing the lesson plan. I feel as though the decision for us to all work on separate things was a good idea because we got a lot done and we were able to bounce off ideas to each other. Before leaving class, my group made sure that each person was going to do their job over the weekend so we could continue to progress in our midterm project. We all also agreed to do equal parts in the experiment, not allowing anyone to do more than the other. After walking out of physical science today I felt extremely relieved to know that not only did our group figure out our project, but we also were able to start on it and assign tasks to everyone in the group. I am really excited for this project, I think my group is going to have a wonderful turn out!
