- To start off the lesson, I took the class out to the hallway and challenged them to a gravity activity. This seemed to have gotten students excited and engaged. - When we came back to the room, I took too long with the demonstration of gravity using the ball, foam peanut, pencil, and book. I think I could have shortened this activity for the sake of time. - I think I lost student attention during the read aloud. I could have skipped the read aloud since most students already grasped the concept of gravity. - The biggest problem was the teacher demonstration. I did not do a very good job of explaining what students had to do for the experiment. My wording seemed to have confused a lot of students. I could have done a better job of giving out specific directions of what they had to do. - Due to the confusion, it took longer for students to complete the experiment and they didn't have enough time to work on the handout as planned. - I need to work on making quick adjustments to lesson if needed.
