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)d
In this third lesson, students had to identify the mystery minerals by looking at
the minerals physical attributes and performed simple tests on the mineral. The
students are very good describing the physical attributes using the vocabulary we
have been practicing. They were able to know texture means how soft and how
hard. They know the word luster. They are describing the minerals using their
physical properties like a pro!
What did not go well: The harder task for the students to do was using the Mohs
scale to determine the minerals hardness. Many students had difficulties reading
a table. And after they locate the hardness, a lot of them were having trouble
using decimals.
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 review how to read
a chart during math time. Also I would introduce decimals before the lesson, or I
would just round up the numbers without using the decimals. I would also go
over greater than, less than concept with the students before the lesson.
