This week saw an enthusiasm for Level 2 Quests. The kids seem to really be jumping on my "technology" bandwagon. I made a "Questing Wall of Fame" with the students names on note cards. I placed stickers on their cards to help them visualize what level they are working at and to also notice if their grades are suffering. Amazingly enough, this seems to have hit home with the "little darlings" that needed to "see" where they stand. I will post a picture of the wall later. Now, if we could just get all the laptops working at the same time so that all students could use one I would be one extremely happy camper.
The lab we did this week was one on measuring distance, mass, and volume. The students had a bit of trouble converting metrics but I think several of them do now understand that centimeters are NOT the same thing as meters.
Next week's lessons include Matter foldable, one lab that I call Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures, and a variety of density demonstrations. These will include "How Sweet It Is", a hot and cold water mixing demonstration, and dancing raisins. I hope the kids will love it!
