After finishing the educational part of the lesson, I realized that everything was not going as planned. For example, in our lesson plan, we detailed and described the explanation part to teach students the technical terms of what they were seeing in the stations and other activities and make it a collaborative effort within groups to work with vocabulary words. However, the teaching of the plan was not executed well. Additionally, I learned that teaching a subject doesn't have to be boring or just filled with worksheets. Fun, engaging lab stations and interactive activities can meet standards and requirements just as well, if not better, than basic worksheets and PowerPoint lectures. Finally, I realized that lesson planning and teaching requires a lot of effort and work, but it is worth it when a light bulb goes off in a student's head and they learn something something new and is enthusiastic about learning and expanding his scientific knowledge.
