Week 3

This week on Tuesday we were given the Monoply Game to cut, glue,laminated, saved and used in our classrooms as an introductory game to Safety and Rules. I really thought this was a cool idea espically for younger kids anytime you can make it a game they will become more interested in the topic. Once, they become interested they will retain the information more effectively. I could not imagine going over and reading aloud the different rules of the lab. I know it would bore me to use a monotone and explain how they will hurt themselves if they use carelessness. It is super cool idea to get the whole class interacting, and interested the foundations of Science.
I think this could also be applied to middle school classrooms in the same sense; middle school boys are going to make fun and disreguard the Rules thinking they are silly, but in reality they need to take the rules serious and use caution in the Science lab. Therefore, the game serves as a useful method to interest adolesent teens in a non-lecture format rather then loosing them in some notes. Also Dr. E thanks for the fun formats for science Awards in both English and Spanish way to adapt to the multicultural planning.
