What did the students find out in the experience? Were there any surprises?
o Students were learning about the skeletal system. From this experience I want the
students to be able to indicate where the Cranium, Spin, Rib Cage, Collarbone,
Shoulder bone, Femur, Pelvis, Ulna-Radius, and Humerus are located in their
body. One thing that surprised me about this activity was the disconnect between
the paper and the students body. The students had difficulty taking the bones that
they labeled on the paper and finding them in their own body. I personally thought
that it would be easier for the students to find them in their own body then to label
together perfectly, there was a lot of silence but the assignment got completed.
Was the activity open-ended enough, or did each group do more or less the same thing?
o I think that the project was kind of in the middle. I did give the student guide lines
and expectations but I also allowed the students to discover things outside of these
expectations. Once the students named the required bones they were allowed to
see what other types of bone they could name. I should have allowed the students

named in Spanish.
Did I use technology effectively?
o I displayed the information on the smartboard but I did not give the students the
opportunity to use technology. I could have had the students finds the bones on
the internet but I felt that the students would be overwhelmed and distracted by
the information they would get. Yes, I do feel like I used technology effectively

students were to hang their work up in the hallways. They were so excited to
show all of the bones that they knew and wanted all of the other kid to see it.
Would I do it again? How would I plan differently the next time?
o Yes, I would definitely do this lesson again. I feel that the students were engaged
and excited to work on their skeletons. When I do this lesson again I would like to
give the students more freedom on the assignment. I also would like to find a way
to included more technology in the lesson. I think that with some more freedom
and the use of technology that they students would get more of the activity and
