Another crazy day

Yesterday we had another crazy day in the block. In Social Studies we all shared our favorite book and a little about it. We also received many other fun ideas to do with students in Social Studies when we teach.

In the afternoon, we had Science and it was a very crazy day. We had some of our groups teach lesson plans on Science. One group had us make thermometers(not real), they were used to help us get the idea of how to tell the temperature. We also actually measured the temperature of water in groups. It was fun.
In different group, we made Oobleck. It was a blast. All of us really enjoyed playing in it and making a mess. I am sure any student in elementary school would love to do this. We will all have to remember this idea and get the recipe to add to our files.
The last Science group had us make our own toothpaste. It was very interesting. I think we all learned a little more about toothpaste and what it takes to make it clean our teeth. It was very fun but some of the toothpaste definitely had something to be desired. It was fun to invent our own kind and our own flavor. I hope we have a few pictures because there was definitely some awful looking faces after trying the toothpaste.

What a fun and interesting day. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend and your new practicum assignment.
