^ What did you learn? ^ What are you still curious about? ^ 
|What the motion graphs show by moving back and forth.| I'm confused about some of the diagnostic questions.|
|It's nice to look back and see how much that I've learned over the term. Even though there are still some things I am confused about, it's nice to see the progress.| I want to figure out how to use the motion detectors better.|
|I liked that the powerful ideas that we gained were carried over throughout the term and built upon.| |
|I learned that the motion detectors can pick up on motion in the environment, not just what's directly in front of it.| I'm curious how about how my moon paper is going to turn out.|
|I thought the hamburger approach was good and helpful. It would be beneficial for kids; I will definitely use it.| Some of the questions on our diagnostic questions were confusing, particularly the seasons part, because we haven't talked about that much.|
|I learned about the writing portion included in science. The integration helps.| I am wondering about the sun's distance in the sky.|
|I learned about the common misconceptions about the moon. I was shocked that I did write similar misconceptions on my initial diagnostic questions.| I'm wondering how my moon paper will turn out.|
|I learned that the moon is always half lit over the term. I used to think that it was the earth's shadow that caused the phases.| If both the moon and the earth are both rotating and revolving, how do we see the same exact face every time?|
|I learned all about motion detectors, what not to do because it's ineffective, but also what to do and how it works.| I am curious about the moon paper. I am wondering if I am understanding all the parts of the moon in order to write a coherent paper on it.|
|I liked learning about the hamburger approach because it integrates literacy with science.| How much will everyone learn about motion detectors in such a short two-week period, when it typically is a much longer unit?|
