Write a brief summary of your experiences teaching this lesson, addressing the following
questions:

 What went well? What did not go well? (Cite specific examples) Day 4 students
are task with – Bacteria “Mystery Bags”/data collection sheet/ticket out the door.
Students used a magnifying loop attached to her phone to take these lovely, but gross
pics of the mold on the bread. The experience was to demonstrate how humidity could
affect our food source. We’ll begin another round of mold that should be ready to view
after the break.
 How well were the lesson’s student performance objectives
attained? .Instructed to discuss what is included in their models. I observe
students discussing and comparing findings. Students begin to discuss what
materials they will used. Teacher provides differentiation by explaining in detail
with various students who do not have well-developed plans. Some students
exchange materials as they make their plans. Teacher asks if they need more
time: Give me a thumb up if you are ready. He notes some students need
additional time

 Did classroom activity center on science understanding, inquiry, and sense-

making by all students? Learners defined words and placed them in the
glossaries of their interactive science notebooks. The students navigating through
the PowerPoint went well. My background helped with the process and
concepts. This helped meet students’ needs and understanding the importance
academic vocabulary. Differentiation is important to any classroom. Therefore, I
was cognizant about the implementation of differentiation of how I taught the
vocabulary. Higher students were asked to work with the gifted teacher and use
the vocabulary words in their daily writing.

 Did your scientific content knowledge enable you to support students’

construction of knowledge and understanding of important scientific concepts
and processes? The students navigating through the PowerPoint went well. My
background helped with the process and concepts. This helped meet students’
 needs and understanding the importance academic vocabulary. Differentiation is
important to any classroom. Therefore, I was cognizant about the
implementation of differentiation of how I taught the vocabulary. Higher
students were asked to work with the gifted teacher and use the vocabulary
words in their daily writing.

 When you have the opportunity to re-teach this lesson, what will you do
differently (strategies, teaching tools, assessments, etc.) to improve student
learning for all students?
