The last time I left school refreshed and energized was during my elementary school teaching days. I headed a school wide Earth Day event for students in grades Pre-K to 5th. Every student was able to participant in hands-on science activities. We made water cycle braclets, ants on a log, learned water safety, and much more. The day concluded with solar car races. The cars had been made by students in the science club. While I was very tired, it was a tired from seeing students learn by doing. These activities did not involve technology it did show the need for more hands on activities and experiences. This stays in the forefront when I plan project=based learning assignments with students today.
