Preconceptions Parking Lot
Part of Lesson Plan: Exploring the Carbon Cycle
Activity Overview / Details
Materials Needed: Sticky Notes (1 per student), Outline of Parking Lot on board (1)
Help students connect with previous knowledge through this engaging activity. Distribute one sticky-note to each student. Instruct students to quickly draw an outline of their favorite car on their sticky note. Within the outline, students are to respond to the following question, "What have you heard about carbon?" As students capture their ideas, post sticky-note "cars" on a share sheet or wipe board on which you have drawn a parking lot. Students share their previous knowledge as they park their cars in the parking lot.
