Today's class period was very interesting and engaging. The class period began with a look into the South Dakota science standards for k-12. We briefly discussed each standard and them put them aside for future use. We then moved onto an interactive activity. In order to complete this interactive activity, we went to the website of http://www.Fossweb.com. Here we were introduced to different scientific topics pertaining to different grade levels. We focused on grades three through six. Some activities that we were able to choose from included landscapes, environments, and more. We chose to focus on health. The website provided many different activities pertaining to the exploration of health. For example, one program we worked with had us compile of meal using different foods to meet a certain caloric intake, and grams pertaining to protein, carbohydrates, and fats. We then analyzed different meals that we composed, and tried to figure out how we could substitute in different foods to reduce the caloric intake and so forth. We were also provided with packets to fill in when interacting with the websites. The packet provided us with information pertaining to nutrition. It also informed us on the recommended calories per day for boys and girls. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this class period because is focused on nutrition and involved interactive learning opportunities which i think is always a good way to engage students.
