Sciences make microscopic things visible

The fun factor increased the learning in this lesson. All students were very engaged. The theme of making microscopic things visible made it more real and understandable for the students. Students were talking about the work during the activity, which also helped to slow down the lesson and gave students the opportunity to cement the concepts really well.

On the negative side the lesson was a bit too short – more questions could have been added at the end to facilitate students who worked faster. More examples could have been added at the end. Not much emphasis was placed on differentiation, as the concept needed to be understood in its entirety.

Each student had a worksheet to complete, each one had a specific task in the lesson and there was individual work required from all.
