My
students worked in small cooperative groups of four to complete the
investigation. My strength was providing an engaging activity for my students.
The students had to compare and contrast the layers of a chocolate covered
cherry to the layers of the Earth. At the completion of the investigation, the
students were allowed to eat the chocolate covered cherries.
An area I need to
improve on is my content knowledge of Earth Science. I currently teach 7th
grade science. In my state and district, Earth science is taught in the 8th
grade. I have never taught Earth and Space Science.
A lot of students did not eat chocolate covered cherries. I
thought more students would have eaten the candy.
