Throughout the year, I've noticed that kids love doodling in pencil on our science lab tables. They draw shapes, spirals, write notes to one-other; they communicate by staking their claim on the spaces they sit every day. While I've set the expectation with students that this is not a positive behavior, sometimes kids just can't help it. These markers will be used as an allowed outlet to get this behavior "out of their systems"-while also letting them show and practice what they know before science quizzes. By doodling unit-specific science models on their tables, I can meet students where they are at by having them to doodle on tables in an activity that makes this a positive behavior instead of negative. It also will allow them to review necessary science concepts creatively. It's a double win!
