 Teaching and Learning Science
      Second Life Meeting
Nancy Dooley, Ed Pell, Ralph Siegel
Our first meeting with our group. We brainstormed ideas for
          our project and came up with a few ideas.
Our feelings about    Exciting   Challenging

    Second Life
and our future as a
  science teacher!          Fun
Our goal: To create exciting and engaging
lessons for our students that will develop their
love for science and broaden their knowledge.

Our idea: To answer the questions every
child has with scientific experiments.

Why is the sky blue?
What makes bread rise?
Why do cats have whiskers?

Our plan: To ask children in our lives
questions they may have and each week
we will use hands on activities to
answer those questions.

    Why is the moon        Will we ever
  sometimes out during
        the day?         discover aliens?
                   Kids’
                   most
                  burning
                 questions
   How much does         How do airplanes
  the Earth weigh?          stay up?
After some hearing issues we moved back into our
meeting place to see if the professor was around. We
         found another classmate. Hi Tami!
          Jake was just here a minute ago.
WE CREATED OUR PLAN
           • Explain lesson to students
           • Let students brainstorm
  Step 1   • Demonstrate experiment


           • Break up into groups
           • Assist students with experiments
  Step 2   • Return to desks for more brainstorming


           • Compare results
           • Review if the question has been answered
  Step 3   • Create new questions
Conclusion: Science should be
   hands on learning and fun




Experiments and student brainstorming will keep the students
           interested and engaged in the lesson.
