This week I was able to teach my science lesson on recycling. For my "Engage" the students shared what they knew and thought about recycling. It was interesting to learn how much they knew about recycling! We created a classroom "Mind-Map" so we could all see how the ideas linked together. During the "Exploration" students received material with facts about how to recycle different materials. For the "Explanation" students talked with their groups about the recycling facts they received. We discussed as a class the importance of recycling and what would happen if we did not re-use anything. During the "Elaboration" students worked with their groups to create an informative poster about recycling their material (glass, paper, plastic, aluminum). For the "Evaluation" each group presented their posters and shared what they learned with the class.
The students seemed to really enjoy this activity! I had a great time teaching it, but I think that is mostly because of the students enthusiasm to participate. By using the 5 "E's" I was able to prepare and present a quality science lesson that was enjoyable yet educational.
