When I was apart of BioSite during the fall, it seemed like the first day of teaching came so quickly, but this time it almost seemed to some faster. I will say that my past experience with BioSITE helped with my nerves this time around. I was more excited to see all the kids than I was nervous that something might go wrong. I was in a group with Maddison Odam, Annika Gordon, and Zoe Venegas. We were apart of the plant dissection group, teaching the kids all about the different parts of the flowers as well as what they do. Before the kids showed up we picked the flowers we were going to have the kids look at and set up our table. When the first group of kids sat around our table, we played a game that involved going around the circle saying our names, our favorite foods, and one thing we knew about flowers. The games went great, and every kid's answer was different. We then had Annika show everyone the different parts of the flower and explain their functions using the poster we had created. We then had the kids look at their own flower and point out the parts they had just learned about. While this was going on, Zoe was pulling kids aside to see the male and female parts of the flower under a microscope. Once all the kids had gotten a chance to see the flowers and draw what they saw in their journals, we had them relabel our poster on their own. We realized during the first group that we still had a lot of extra time with the kids, so we decided to play a fun trivia game asking the kids a bunch of flower related questions. The game ended when it was time for the next group to arrive. Overall, things ran smoothly and all the kids seemed to have a great time.
