On Monday we went on with my lesson plan. It was the Scientist day. I really wanted to show them interesting things about science and I thought that a virtual visit to the laboratory I work in could be a good starting point. Thus, I started the class explaining students that I studied Chemistry and that I work in Research. Afterwards I showed them the video I recorded in the lab (English subtitles and very easy vocabulary) and asked them to write some of the words they heard: experiment, pipette, residue, cell, bacteria... They understood the video and I saw them paying attention and quite surprised. Some of them asked me questions about its location and so on...
Afterwards, as I had just half of the class, I thought that it would be nice to do a quiz about Science: HOW MUCH SCIENCE DO YOU KNOW? I made two teams and with a Power Point help we asked and answered questions I had prepared: "The fastest animal is...? How many colours are there in the rainbow? Who discovered Penicillin?" They had four options and were given a star if they knew the correct answer. I also prepared four jokers they could use in case of doubt: Teacher help (50%), Translation, 2 min Internet, Pass it to the other group.

Hi.
I'm very interested to read this article.
Reading your blog, I remembered one quote by one Japanese writer.
This quote is one of my teaching mottoes.
Teach difficult thing simply.
Teach simple thing interestingly.
Teach interest thing deeply."
Thanks to remind me.
Thanks. Arigatou gozaimashita.
Keep studying teaching !
