Science Lesson Self Reflections
On December 8, 2010, I presented a science lesson on the topic of sink or float
in the classroom. I had the opportunity to teach certain skills like science
process skills, manipulative skills and thinking skills. The lesson seemed to be a
success. I was very happy with the student’s enthusiasm as well as their
cooperation. The lesson engaged the students and encouraged their desire to
learn this science topic with joy.
Prior to the lesson, I took into account the students that needed help with their
personal motivation to be involved in the discussion. This avenue was
addressed by offering them a token system for their positive behavior. For
example, certain students normally would loose focus during the course of this
lesson. These non-attentive students were able to stay on task along with the
rest of the students.
This lesson encompassed both making inferences and generating ideas skills. If
only one skill for this lesson was taught, it would have also helped with time
management. Therefore, if I had split the lesson into two, it would have allowed
me to not feel rushed while covering the material. I found that classroom
management is the key to ensuring that every student is engaged and on task.
Lastly, when being critically evaluated I realize that I am capable of adjusting and
being flexible in order to better suit my students.
