It is always a pleasure to watch student's learn. That same pleasure is heightened when the students are having so much fun they don't even know they are learning. Mrs. May's science class is a lot like that. On the day I stopped by they were doing a whole series of experiments on a variety of subjects. The bell would ring and the teams would shift to the next experiment. The students couldn't wait to complete the experiment they were doing, and then they couldn't wait to get to the next one. They were obviously having a great time and, in their minds, learning about science was secondary. What was obvious to me, as I asked the students why they were doing what they were doing, is that they understood. Sounds like a great lesson, doesn't it?
I can take a stand in my writing and support it with facts and details.
