Each group presented a topic of Earth science that every person was not comfortable with. We were paired off with different classmates that we have not worked with yet. It was nice to work with someone different and to learn different tools they have and my new partner taught me a lot. I also learned a lot about my topic oceans that I was not aware of. The first presentation was the Earth layers. It was engaging and had all the important information that a student would remember. The video used was fun and exciting and is a good way to remember information. Students love when teachers use tools like this to teach subject areas. I thought it went well when my partner and I presented. Many of the classmates had interesting questions to ask about the Oceans. Also, the information was facts classmates did not know. The next presentation was fossils. It was completed by a group of three. They had a really great activity. With the use of play dough, leaves and small dinosaur toys the teachers guided us to create different types of fossils based on the materials we had. I loved this activity because the students can really understand what the fossil is by creating one themselves. It is so engaging! I also liked quizizz, I was not aware of this resource and is similar to Kahoot but enjoyed this version better. I really liked the use of padlet, it allowed students to answer a question and their responses were visible right away. The next presentation was on weather tools and instruments. This presentation had a lot of great information. I like that all the task were put in links on the presentation so the students can click and know exactly what they should be completing. The final presentation was soil formation. The teacher presented the information in a different format and was able to see the different part of the inquiry model and each part of the presentation that links with the 5E's. Overall, everyone's presentations were great and all the information was interesting and intriguing!
