Website Changes
So after talking to my classmates about my Google site, they seemed to like it overall. They stated that it looks fun and color-coordinated, but serious enough for a third grader.
My classmates did suggest some text changes. On the top of the page, I had stated that I was giving these kids “something to do if they were bored”. This made it seem as if doing this work was merely a suggestion instead of a requirement. I changed this text to state the reasons why we were doing this at home instead -- to benefit the child by not running coursework into their summer vacation.
I also adjusted the goal for the lesson, where I had originally just focused on making the brownies. I went more in-depth with the goal, stating that we are trying to figure out what happens when we combine solids and liquids. Some get more liquidy, some get more solid. I did mention chemical reactions that might be the exceptions to the rules and mentioned that we would talk about those later in the year.
There is the problem with volume on my video that I have attempted to change, but can’t. Sometimes it’s quieter in some parts than in others. I have adjusted these things on my ipad and tried to change them to no avail.
If you want to check out my website for this lesson, here it is!

I had a lot of fun making it.
