Brain Drain Equilibrium Mini-Project
Keeping students in vacillating state of equilibrium is essential to providing learning opportunities. I enjoy when my students resist my verbalized ideas and feel strongly that they MUST prove that there understanding is correct.
I developed this process throughout the year using “brain drains” that went from simple to more complex and found that by the end of the year during my last unit on Light and Color that my students realized that I expected them to tell me why they disagreed with me and exactly what was there thinking about how I could not be correct with my introduction of Light.
I enjoyed that unit the most of any during the year because I saw the confidence and wiliness of my classes to defend their positions and most of all because the strongest ideas were posed by female students.
