So today, to get a sense of what students thought about the nature of science, we did a short survey and discussion with the ActivExpression devices. Here is an example of just one question we discussed, and the results from 4 class periods.
What is an Activexpression?
Very interesting results! I wonder how their thinking will change throughout the course of your class?
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting to see the variety in the results. I love the equipment that you have for doing this. What an amazing tool!
ReplyDeleteHow did you do this?? Very cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great question. I think that the more creative science is the faster we will advacne as a culture.
ReplyDeleteDacia,
ReplyDeleteWe have these cool ActivExpressions devices. They're individual boxes that the kids text in answers on. Cool!
I wonder if I can do that with my clickers?
ReplyDeleteProbably! Let me know what you have and I could probably figure it out.
ReplyDeleteDacia you could also use something like Poll Everywhere and have students 'vote' using their cell phones as an option if your flickers don't work.
