Fossil Fuels-Year 10 Reflection

                                        

                  Fossil Fuels with Year 10PDv/TBSM1

One of the chief complaints against nuclear power plants is the accumulation of waste and the potential dangers of that waste given possible, future hypothetical events. What is wholly forgotten is the topic of fossil fuel waste. Fossil fuel waste is “out of sight, out of mind.” It is thrown immediately into the air, mostly invisible to us. But it contains both CO2 and tiny fragments related to burning coal, oil or natural gas, and those particles cause immediate human injury and deaths.  This week the topic was Fossil Fuels and types. I tried different activities for my students. First of all, For one day, I discussed with students about fossil fuels and where we use fossil fuels, its advantages and disadvantages and also gave them some notes about Fossil Fuels. Next Period, I showed them a clip and explain to them how fossil fuels are formed. Next activity was Kahoot that was an online quiz. I tried fillups and different worksheets with students, and they really enjoyed it. 

In this topic, I gave them some research task about Renewable and Non-renewable source of energy and why a renewable source of energy is better than Non-renewable sources of energy. They did some research on this question and write up and share it with me. Few activities I have done on Hapara Workspace. With fossil fuels powering climate change, including global warming, a cultural change driven by education is needed to speed up the transition to renewable energy.

Last day of Term 2 with Year 10

            School Can Be Fun, Easy, and Entertaining

Today(3 July), was the last day of term 2 in the school. I tried to make this day entertaining, creative and fun-loving for my students. So, I prepared an interesting Kahoot for my classes based on NEw Zealand. Students loved it. I announced the prize for the first three winners. But, the end, of course, I shared a cupcake with every student for their participation in-game. We talked about different exciting places in New Zealand and shared activities which they will do during the holidays. Some students have a plan for holidays, and they were very excited. It was a very fun-loving class. Everyone enjoyed it and happy.

A Happy Bid Goodbye

When you arrive with your class at your predetermined goodbye spot, make it a point to bump fists or shake hands with each student, in modest celebration of another great day.

Big smiles, happy students, a final reminder that your classroom is a special place.

A place both teacher and students, love being a part of.
