Lesson Reflective Summary

Teacher Candidate for Science Endorsement: Kelly Barrere

MSP Cohort 2

School: Euharlee Elementary Grade: 5th

Lesson Topic: Deposition

The students really had fun with blowing the “sand” (sprinkles) around. One class got a
little out of control with it and I had to take a couple of straws, but otherwise it went
find. I learned by the 2nd and 3rd time doing the lesson NOT to give the students straws
until after I give instructions and also to give VERY clear instruction telling them not to
suck on the straw, only blow. I had a couple try to suck up the spinkles first period.

The students’ performance objectives we attained to a degree that I am confident that

they have an understanding but will need to continue to go back and review deposition
verses erosion.
All students were able to master a degree of understanding from what they experienced
and observed.

When I reteach this this lesson, I will use video that I found in the science tech book of
desert and the sand blowing and landing in time elapse. I will use this to close the lesson
and ask the students what is happening that is erosion, and what is happening that is
deposition and what it is forming.
