Preparation and Teaching P1 Brenden Schriver

In the preparation for Bio-site, we needed to be the fourth graders. We had to learn what we were going to teach. After all three lessons were taught to us, we had a choice of: Worms, Watersheds, or Flowers. My group and I decided to teach about the watersheds. Our group left me to decide our lesson plan and how we would teach. The main thing we wanted the fourth graders to know was how the recent flood in the east side of San Jose, had happened. Our lesson was backwards. We started off with making the watersheds and spraying them. The after that we explained what the watersheds were, and how San Jose flooded.

On the first day of Bio-site I was unable to attend. I had previous engagements being a cabin leader at a science camp. I did get my groups feed back. My group relayed to me that the lesson went very well and all the kids loved it. Many kids were excited to know how San Jose flooded. They really enjoyed crumpling the paper and spraying it with water. I was also unable to attend the second day of Bio-site do to my lack of understanding when to go. But, my group said the same things as before. The lesson went very well and all the kids loved it. Many kids were excited to know how San Jose flooded and really enjoyed crumpling the paper and spraying it with water.
