Today I was in a sixth grade science class to help the students write up and prepare their science experiments for the science fair. I was able to work one on one with a student developing his experiment on static electricity. While working with this student I realized how important it is to ask questions to the student that will make the student think about what they need to do, rather than tell the student what needs to be done. This occurred when the student was writing their procedure and one of the steps they wrote was not clear. I asked the student “If someone was replicating your experiment would they be able to do it exactly how you did it?” The student then saw how their step was not as clear as it could be. I then explained how if someone was repeating their experiment and did one step differently they could get different result.
