1. What did you learn this week?
This week during lab I learned all about the 8 characteristics of living things that differentiates living from nonliving. I also learned what each characteristics means and how it applies to a living thing. Such as reproduction is the production of offspring.
2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?
Yes I am. A lot of these characteristics and ideas that we talked about in class were already things that I knew from previous classes. However, I am now able to build off what I knew with what I have just learned in class to produce the best knowledge on the topic.
3. How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future?
I can apply the characteristics of living things to my teaching in the future by introducing the idea to students of living versus nonliving things with the support of the curriculum I will be teaching. In addition, I can use child friendly pictures and diagrams to make understanding of the topic easier for the students that I will be teaching.
