My performance task this week was assisting in getting materials ready for an activity and writing on the white board. The students in my class did a science lab. The science experiment was measuring the temperature of water and then measuring water after baking soda was added. I filled large pitchers of water for the students to pour from and I got the baking soda into containers for the students to measure from. After the students were done with their lab, we went over their results as a class. On the white board, I wrote each groups' readings on the board to show them the importance of doing multiple trials of an experiment.
This task was important because it helped me interact with the students. During the experiment I was able to walk around the room and make sure everyone was on task and using the materials properly. While at the white board, it was important to get every students input. I used my CTs method of drawing popsicle sticks with students' names on them ask them to participate. If I had to repeat the task, I would have the centers set up before the activity so that there was more time for the experiment, rather than setting up while explaining the directions. I think the white board discussion after the experiment was beneficial to bringing the lesson back around and getting students to participate.
