BioSite was incredible! It was such a fun experience, and I'm so glad I was apart of it for the second time! We spent at least a month preparing for teaching the 4th graders from Booksin all about biology! Birit, our BioSite teacher, taught us everything we needed to know to have two successful teaching days. As a group, we met every Tuesday during tutorial. This allowed us to prepare in many different ways. We learned what do do at each station and what to write in the booklets that were provided. We covered new topics this round, so everyone in BioSite had to adapt to that. The first round we learned how to keep the kids' attention. This time we reviewed things like call and response, interactive activities, and asking connecting questions. We obtained all the skills we needed, until we finally separated into groups. Our group was in charge of teaching the 4th graders all about worms! We were told to create our own lesson plan, so the ideas were endless! This round was easier than the chickens, because we didn't have to set time limits inside the coop, and we didn't have to work as much with the other worm groups.
