Learning Observed

In iExperience Taj has been learning about static electricity.  He was given a balloon and some tissue paper and was given the task of making the paper jump onto the balloon using static electricity. Taj demonstrated his curiosity by rubbing the balloon onto many different surfaces to charge the balloon full of static and successfully picked up many pieces of tissue paper.  He showed collaboration by working with others to share his findings. Through his active participation in learning conversations Taj demonstrated that he was connected to the current learning.

Evidence of learning

Taj made the tissue paper stick to the balloon with static electricity.
