Record Student Experiments and Share with All Students

Enoch Ng is a fifth grade science and math teacher in Singapore. He has 38 kids in a class and still is able to do labs. One thing he often does is have students conduct different experiments along the same theme and creates video summaries from each group. For example, his class was investigating factors that affect the rate of evaporation of water. Some groups explored heat, others wind, others surface area, and others the amount of dissolved particles. Students conducted different experiments to test these effects in small groups, and when they finished, Ng filmed quick summaries of each experiment for different factors. He then edited these summaries into one video and required students to watch the summary video. Although he did not have time or the resources for all students to do all of the experiments, students were required to know all of the factors that affected evaporation. This video was the key to making this requirement possible. Ng makes sure students explain not just what they did, but more importantly, how what they did led them to their conclusions. This is an excellent way to help students to think scientifically as they explain natural phenomena.
