Science Demonstration Reflection:

What stage?

What happened?

In our science class Andrea and I completed a science demonstration for grade 3 on the topic of heat conduction.

What did you observe?

What were the actions taken?

How did you react?

How did the others react?

What were the most surprising elements?

So What?

How did you feel during the occurance?

How do you feel regarding the event at this moment?

Do you feel different regarding the situation and why?

What were the positive aspects of this event?

What were the negative aspects?

Were your experiences different from others?

Now What?

What was the impact of the event on you?

What improvements can be made to alter the outcome?

What actions can be taken next time while dealing with the same situation?

What information will be needed to deal with the same situation?

How can you improve your performance in a similar situation next time?
