Joyce’s Lesson

 

When I first thought about using bubble-ology with my students, it seemed to fit when we begin to study light (prism, wavelength, colors, etc) but after Joyce shared her notion about using it to teach the scientific method I can see myself using it right at the beginning of the year.  I can see stressing Paul’s loop-i-ness as part of that method [which means that I need to teach that first] and of a summary of changing observations (uh-oh, this could become a several day lesson with each group trying each number of drops=lots of observations/conflicts) and then there is the whole idea of what are we searching for.    So many bubbles, so many ways to define the ‘perfect’ bubble.  Lots of 'space' for learning!!
