Learning Observed

In iExperience Ameerah has been learning about static electricity.  She was given a balloon and some tissue paper and was given the task of making the paper jump onto the balloon using static electricity. Ameerah demonstrated her curiosity by rubbing the balloon onto many different surfaces to charge the balloon full of static and successfully picked up many pieces of tissue paper.  She showed collaboration by working with others to share her findings. Through her active participation in learning conversations Ameerah demonstrated that she was connected to the current learning.

Evidence of learning

Ameerah made the tissue paper stick to the balloon with static electricity.
