Week #6 Blog Post
- Something we learned about this week was pollination. It was really cool to check in on our fast plants and use them for self pollination. We noticed that our plants were growing significantly! After checking in, we used dead bees to self pollinate these plants. We also did an activity where we learned about the turtles and their chance of living. That interactive activity was a ton of fun!
- Prior to class, I knew about turtles and that they lay their eggs on the beach. I was not aware of how many eggs they lay at once, and I didn't know it was not in the turtles favor that they are going to survive!
- I can apply this to my future teaching career by using the same activity we used to learn about turtles. I think it teaches a good lesson of for the students that the world can be very dangerous to animals. It was also important to learn about the impacts humans make and how difficult they make it for the animals.
Hey James! I also really enjoyed the turtle activity. I had background knowledge about sea turtles too, but it was so interesting to see how few people were still standing at the end of our activity to symbolize the number of turtles that are able to survive. I definitely think that activities like these are super memorable and will help students learn about new topics!
