I like rock cycle, I even got to do the introduction, the escar demo and light the peat. It was good and the kids seemed to enjoy things.
1. What I did to encourage learning.
These kids were great, they listened most of the time and seemed to follow actions that I did. One thing I did to encourage learning was sing a little song I stole from Fred Penner (Canadian Childrens entertainer) called the bump. Some kids really liked it and wanted to sing it again and again. Maybe Kames will stick in their heads!
2. Concerns. The power point rock cycle intro really needs a lot of work and some creative thinking. It is so long and not very interactive. While watching the Jane do the first presentation it was clear after 12ish min that they were uncomfortable and moving around a lot more. I think that creating a power point that is a little more focused and has opportunities for student involvement would really help move things along. We talk about kettle lakes a lot with little connection to the outdoor activities.
