Explain

In our Science workshop, we follow the 5 E's: Engage, Explain, Explore, Extend, Evaluate. Our kids love the Engage, Explore, and Extend. We used to explain on the carpet and I would ask questions and they would answer. Well, the kids were bored and so was I. So I decided to take my knowledge of all the workshops I have been to and put it to good use. I now print the questions I would normally ask and glue them onto chart paper. The students are given 2 minutes to read the questions and then 3 minutes to answer them. They then switch and do it all over again. They love this!! It also gets all of the students involved.
