Mary and Stacie showed us the site Biology4 Kids. She pointed out that the site was very informative but was not very interactive until the students take the quizzes on the various science topics. Also, she mentioned that you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to click on the table and navigate. However, she did mention that the navigation was not that easy and that students could easily navigate from the site. It does have a site map which makes it easier to navigate. When watching the videos, slow loading is a problem.
We were divided into two groups to review the scientific method. One group read the information and the other group watched a video. After completing the assignment, we each received a remote for Beyond Question Student Response System. The teachers had fun playing with the student response system, but some of the remote responses were not responding and that was frustrating.
The program is primarily for students or children instead of teachers. The videos are good if you can get them to load. Mary shared how you use it in your science class. She directs students to the site to begin their research. The Beyond Question allows both the teacher and the students immediate feedback.
