Science Lesson



So we've been talking about the circulatory system in science and my first lesson in the classroom was labling the heart followed by a lesson on the blood flow through it. Now we are talking about disease and I had athersclorosis. So to iontroduce the topic to the class I made video from a website I learned about in class this past semester, www.xtranormal.com. It allows you to type what you want each character to say and then you press preview and it'll say it for you. With this being said, I was pretty impressed that they were able to prounce atherosclorosis. So I played this in class and referred back to it during my lesson. It went over well and when asked questions that referred to the video, the kids were able to answer showing me that they paid attention. It was pretty cool. I think that I put the bar up a bit so I'll have to make another one for my next lesson.
