Objective of the Learning Engagement:
Differentiated Learning Style :This hands-on approach encourages students to think critically and engage more deeply with the learning. Creating models involves active engagement.
Details of the Learning Engagement:
"From Atoms to Compounds: MYP 2 Scientists Model the Building Blocks of Matter!"
Students of MYP 2 Science make simple models showcasing the difference between ATOM & MOLECULE & the difference between ELEMENT & COMPOUND & evaluate the advantages & disadvantages of their created models. This hands-on approach encourages students to think critically and engage more deeply with the material. Creating models involves active engagement, which helps in better memory retention. Not all students learn best through traditional methods like reading or listening, therefore model-making supports kinesthetic learners who benefit from a tactile and hands-on approach. It also aids visual learners by providing a visual representation of the words. Model-making allows students to use their creativity and innovation. They have been encouraged to make models using waste materials, edible items and resources available to them at home to inculcate the culture of resource management & reducing wastage. This learning engagement inspired students to dive deeper into the world of chemistry.
Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher:
This learning engagement inspired students to dive deeper into the world of chemistry.
