Science isn’t just something to read about—it’s something to do! That was the energy in Mrs. Glover’s classroom as students eagerly engaged with the GLC Unit: Mysteries of Matter. Through hands-on learning, collaboration, and critical thinking, these young scientists explored the properties of matter in a way that was both exciting and meaningful.
Known for her outstanding organizational skills, Mrs. Glover was thrilled with how the GLC unit arrived — each lab lesson clearly labeled, neatly packaged, and ready for immediate use! As students eagerly picked up their materials and opened their Student Data Notebooks, she pulled up the lesson on the GLC Teacher Platform on her smart board.
Incorporating the instructional video, Mrs. Glover brought the investigation to life, sparking curiosity and setting the stage for an exciting hands-on experience.
Mrs. Glover used the platform to model a well-structured hypothesis, giving students the confidence to dive into their investigations.
"The platform is so nice. It takes the work off of me and makes it so much easier when teaching! ”
Working with a partner, students eagerly examined a variety of materials, carefully recording their observations on different properties of matter.
As students encountered more challenging materials, classroom discussions ignited, encouraging them to think critically and refine their answers. Mrs. Glover skillfully facilitated the conversation, guiding students toward deeper understanding while keeping the excitement alive.
The impact of hands-on learning and collaborative exploration was undeniable! Engaged and excited, students eagerly shared their enthusiasm, saying things like...:
“I love ETHOS! The science is so fun to do, and it makes learning easy!”
“We love watching the scientist show us how to do the lab, BUT then we actually get to do it too!”
GLC takes science learning beyond the screen. By providing everyday materials for hands-on labs, students don’t just watch science happen; they experience it firsthand.
