Science Photoessay

Context: Beginning on January 24th, 2008, I began working on my photoessay. I used my digital camera to take pictures of things in my house as well as around my community of things that made me wonder and start to question. I did this project for Jeff Goodman in GS 4401-434 in the Spring Semester of 2008.

Impact: I will use something such as this in my future classroom so that my students can start to questions things that they see everyday, and also see science in the world around them. I think that this project also gets students interested in science, and is a great opener to lots of other experiments.

Alignment: I have met NC DPI Elementary Education Program Standard 15, Indicator 1 by captivating my learners especially my diverse learners by seeing what interests them and makes them wonder.
