Today was a TAKS day but was really a make up Physics day. We did a physics lab called "Physics is Phun." There are different stations and the students get to work in groups of 3-4 to play with simple machines, mirrors, lights, and all other things physics includes. I think everyone had a good time and got a lot of hands on information for how physics really is involved in our lives.
I don't know if the humor will come across in writing but the best part of today came in explaining the lab. I had all classes turn to a new page in their spirals and write the title (that I had written out on the board) "Physics is Phun."
One kid asked, "Do we have to misspell it like you did?"
I replied, "You have to spell it like I did."
Then I got a whole bunch of whiny WHY?'s to which I responded by writing in huge letters on the board.... "cuz its PHUNNY!"
Half the class smiled and the other half rolled their eyes. One girl who always rolls her eyes and sighs at things that are corny (as she calls them) shouted above everyone. "That ain't funny... with an F!"
I couldn't help but laugh a little.
I love being a teacher. -coach b!
