After the last lesson and the comprehensional (is that a word?) fiasco that it was, Wezi and I had a new plan of attack. Today we taught on the lever series (levers, pulley, and wheel & axle), and I think we did a great job. We reviewed energy and the ideas from last lesson to clarify, and then jumped into levers with demos that really drew the kids in and helped them grasp the concepts. We then divided the class into two groups and we went into centers, where Wezi and I both taught one and had hands-on activities so students could experience both pulleys and wheel & axles. The students constructed each type, and in constructing them, were able to see exactly how they workd and why. We also provided notes sheets for them to fill out, but they seemed to have a hard time doing that right after or along with the activity, so I reviewed after. We only got to one station, though, so we will have to finish up next time.
