After this routine:After this routine:
Boys had a clear purpose for the experiment on precipitation reactions.
The boys were focussed, they worked quietly and efficiently, and were eager to begin the analysis of their results
The boys wanted to learn how to interpret the solubility tables available in the senior chemistry laboratory
results.
tables available in the senior chemistry laboratory.
I had a record of the lesson a valuable resource for my reflections.y

My reflections -
A very quiet working class after this routine had been doneA very quiet working class after this routine had been done.
Class was quiet and thoughtful during the routine . Think pair share was d id h d ith th i di t l d th b fused- ideas were shared with those immediately around them before
pooling the ideas of all the class.
By the nature of the picture, the first question had many common answers.
Questions 2 & 3 elicited much greater variety.
The boys listened carefully to the different questions others wondered about.
