My evaluation of my work in class teaching a lesson on the Science of Sound Waves
I believe that I did a poor job. I spent a lot of my time talking and showing slides which were boring. I also tried to cover too much information in my 10 minute time frame. I should have stuck to teaching students that sound comes in waves and teaching amplitude and hertz. I should have shown a vibrating string on a violin and had students play with a guitar.
Students need to have a few key ideas to take away with them and instead I gave them about a dozen including the overtone series and the basic functions of the human ear. This was all too much for a 10 minute lesson plan geared towards middle school students.
I overreached and that is why my lesson plan went so poorly.
