Matter week has been amazing! Before this unit began, Mr. Schreurs and I created a book creator book with all of the information the students would need. It included vocabulary, poetry, and outlines of experiments. Throughout the week, the students have been both referring to their books and adding to them. For example, today they were doing an ice cube melting experiment. They recorded their plan for melting the ice cube the quickest. Then, one person in the group was using the timer to time the experiment and another person was taking videos and pictures. The third person was following the steps of their plan. After the ice cube melted, the students shared their videos and pictures and were able to record their reflections of how they felt their plan went and what they might do differently next time. They had many opportunities for these types of reflections throughout the week. When the week is over, they will have a really complete, interactive book of everything they learned about matter. I would definitely like to organize more units like this in the future.
