I have been thinking about creating a lab to demonstrate what seasons actually are, for a few years now. I am currently in graduate school and while I'm on summer break right now, I will be starting my 6th year teaching Earth and Space science in a very diverse, urban district. In one of my grad classes, I was inspired to create an inquiry-based lab using the idea of letting students figure out what causes the seasons (hint: it's not how close we are to the sun!).
Along with wanting to finally implement this inquiry-based lab, I am still a "cart teacher" and am looking for some help for my students and I to stay organized this year.
The lab materials will be able to be shared among my colleagues and for other labs. The classroom resources will assist me (and my students) stay organized throughout the movement between rooms and with everything being color-coded, we can avoid some confusion. One of the most important things that freshmen teachers can do is provide a method of organization and getting them accustomed to "high school life.” This includes staying organized, taking detailed notes, analyzing data, and problem solving appropriately.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
