Explain.
This week was the focus on how can I manage the time in the classroom.

What duties / activities did you carry out during the school today?
This week the duty was preparing the materials for the observation.
Critically Reflect: Did you feel that you did a good job?
Yes.

What was the most interesting science activity or strategy you saw?
There is no interesting science activity they make in the class with the
teacher/ but on Wednesday I make with the students fossils using clay and
some objects.
Why did you think it was interesting and worth noting/remembering?
There is nothing they use in the class worth to remember they only use
their book and videos.

What did you try out? Was it successful?

Time management/no
Why/why not? Which TP competencies do you feel you achieved and which
do you think that you need to focus on next time?
Half an hour is not enough for a teacher to complete her lesson and give
activates, an hour is more than enough for a teacher to complete her
lesson and more.
I need to focus more on time management.

What was the most important thing you learnt about students or teaching
science today?
That they have more prior knowledge about the topics they take.

Can you think of any way you could better engage students in any activity
you saw today?
Make instruction paper for the students attached with activity

Critically Reflect: Identify an aspect of your own behavior (e.g. time /

behavior management) that you feel you could improve upon. Discuss
ways in which you could improve this.
Time management, the MST should give me whole class not a half an hour,
