Collaboration: Seed Germination & Drone (Bee) Metro Elementary

 DRONE (BEE) Activity

Honey Bee Story Time

   3a: Model and learn with students how to formulate computational solutions to problems and how to give and receive actionable feedback.

     My drone was not connecting, technical issues happened so I ended up improvising and using what I had. Students enjoyed learning about bees and their importance. I showed them the code and talked about bees and their importance to our environment. The first graders held a hexagon and learned about the shapes attributes. One student mentioned the honeycomb had so many hexagons. Furthermore, students learned how bees work as a team for the character trait. For the third graders I was able to show them the code and talk about the drone flying higher when we increase the inches. With the technical difficulties I was able to adjust and learn as I go. This will play a big part in my journey when it comes to teaching and utilizing technology. 

🌱 Seed Germination 🌱

3c: Plan collaboratively with other educators to create learning activities that cross disciplines to strengthen student understanding of CT and CS concepts and transfer application of knowledge in new contexts.

I collaborated with my partner Mrs. Madden. She oversaw the seed germination activity where students enjoyed a hands-on approach using potting soil and planting their very own seed. Students enjoyed the process of seed germination with the amazing life-sized tri fold she created.
