U1 Day 15-16: PD Discussion Topic

You can use wow butter or any other spreadable food item.

It might be fun to use a spread that students may not be familiar with and let them try it out afterward. (e.g. vegemite, nutella, spam, leberwurst)

Iā€™ve done the PB and J activity in biology class to demonstrate genetic mutationsā€“so Iā€™d probably change things up so that students would see something new. Ask them to give instructions on how to load a printer or replace a cartridge.

@swood Iā€™m curious to know if many of your students knew how to change a printer cartridge? This sounds like an interesting switch up.

I as well as my students loved the activity where students had to write out directions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I then pulled in other teachers to follow each set of directions. It was fun. It was enlightening for the kids. Immediately, they wanted to go back and ā€œfixā€ their instructions once they made the ā€œconnectionā€ about what I was trying to show and teach them.

I would use frosting or some sort of fruit jelly.

Nutella is really big at my school. I would substitute that.
