In this unit, students learned about the external parts of different animals that help them meet their needs and survive in their specific environment. These parts help animals see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, and move from place to place. Their parts also help them seek, find, and take in food, water and air. The goal of the unit was for students to design and create the “ultimate” animal that can survive in any environment.  They used the design thinking process to develop a problem sentence, find a solution to the problem, and prototype their solution. The process involved students asking questions, making observations and gathering information on external animal parts. They used their findings to sketch out possible solutions to their problem sentence. Finally the students created their ultimate animal and proposed their solution to a “zookeeper.” Special thanks to Nalisha Keshaw, Brianna Bedessem, Ara Cho, and Chris Bernhardi, and the whole 1C class for ...

I also enjoy logical-mathematical and spatial-visual activities to learn content and skills. The test also revealed that I do not enjoy linguistic and musical activities. Reflection on the Accuracy of those Findings and How the Findings Affect My Teaching The multiple intelligence test was accurate in showing how I like to learn content and skills, and how I like to demonstrate mastery of content and skills. The test indicated that my prefered intelligence type is bodily-kinesthetic. I enjoy playing sports and my dream career was to become a professional sports player. I also enjoy using my hands to create things because of the physical experienc...
