Be Part of the Solution, Not the Pollution with Group 4!

Excellent job, group 4! I thought the lesson was very well taught overall with relevant information and an engaging presentation for the students. My colleagues covered a lot of pertinent information concerning our environment and Earth today. The students, overall, were well mannered with a few reminders in place. I liked the use of my colleague's point system as a form of competition between the students and the teachers to guide/reinforce student behavior in a positive manner. The students were receptive to it.

The inquiry lesson allowed the students a hands-on approach to the visual results of pollution. It was an excellent idea because the students appeared to be concerned with what might happen to Fred, the Fish as a result of contamination.

I believe this was an important topic for the children to learn and understand. We all live on Earth, and teaching them the importance of being responsible citizens of the planet in which we live is crucial. My hope is that they walked away from the lesson, having learned something new, and they way in which we live, and choices we make have an impact on the world around us. So, even though we are one tiny piece of the puzzle, we play a much bigger role in the universe.
