This week the teacher let me give some of the students the science quiz,
and then the teacher give me some work to do to her (to put the students
grade on the paper)

What was the most interesting science activity or strategy you saw?
Also this week they dont make a science activity in the classroom but I
saw some students work they did some projects about fossil.

There is nothing they use in the class worth to remember they only use
their book and videos.

do you think that you need to focus on next time?

apply the activates I was short in time I finish explaining and I dont have
the time to give the students the activity, the teacher after half of an hour
she stopped me and start to complete her lesson.

What was the most important thing you learnt about students or teaching
science today?
That the students in my class are very smart they know some of the
information I give in the lesson and they like to ask questions.

you saw today?
