Autobiography: Hailey Beyrand’s Science Journey
Throughout kindergarten to fifth grade I really do not have many memories of science in class. This may be from me simply not remembering, but I believe it is due to the incredible integration of my elementary school. There were no certain blocks of time dedicated to certain subject, all the subjects fed off each other and were more a cohesive gaining of knowledge of all subjects rather than focusing on one. In my current schooling I have learned how hard it can be to integrate all the subjects together, but my elementary school did it seamlessly which is a goal I will constantly be striving for. One of my favorite memories from my elementary school days was the science fairs. Each year I would …show more content…

But that year was biology and we were able to do so many school in class projects like dissecting a squid and using its ink pouch to write my name, catching bugs then killing them and pinning them to egg cartons and working on classifications. For a bunch of 12 year olds all the learning we did was through actually doing the science or looking at real live/dead things. This I found to be the best way to learn. Actually working with the thing we were learning about did not only engage each student much more, but it made science fun and a class to look forward to each …show more content…

If you excelled and enjoyed science as I did in high school, there was nothing that could further your learning until you were able to take AP classes as a junior. Taking away from my early high school experience I would know that not all teachers really put forth an effort. There are some teachers who are there to get their paycheck and do the bare minimum necessary to provide their students with enough exit knowledge so they don’t fail next year. Teachers like this make it hard for students to care about the subject they are in. The biggest lesson a future teacher can gain from this is no matter what you may think, your attitude toward your class is important, if you don’t care your students will follow your lead and not care either. Moving on to my college years, I was a nursing major for 2 years. My classes consisted of Into Organic Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Micro Biology, Nutrition and many more. As challenging as the course work as, I loved every second of it. My teachers were all extremely passionate about their fields and the laboratories were so incredibly interesting (especially Medical Micro Biology). Now being an education major with an emphasis in English, I am only required to take three science course, which I am taking them all this semester and so far I am really enjoying them

    I observed a first-grade science lesson at Moore Elementary in Pasadena ISD on a Monday February 5, 2018 from 1-3pm. The class is a general education with 11 boys and 10 girls in the class it also has a five ESL (English as the Second Language) students. In the lesson the students were learning about the four different seasons. The first thing the teacher did to introduce the lesson was have the students watch a brain pop video about the four seasons. After the video the teacher went over the different seasons and asked the students what season we are currently and what season come next until they have covered all four seasons. Next, the teacher had the students do two different interactive board activities. The first interactive board activity

    The view of nursing is now more in depth and well rounded than before attending this class. Also, I now have a better understanding that scientific knowledge has a huge impact on nursing. Before taking these specific classes this semester I did not realize how much of a role science played in the nursing career. This quarter has really shown me that a nurse is not a "task monkey." The most surprising thing that I learned this semester was the abundance of knowledge that a nurse has to have in variety of areas such as assessment, legal, risk prevention, and educator just to name a few. As I make my journey through nursing school to expert nurse, I will always remember my instructors and dean continuously repeating that I must choose

    Section E was the best group and we enjoyed every class together. I had Mrs. Zambetti. Mrs. Prisco, Mr. Perrotti, Mr. Justave, and Mrs. Rosiak who were all the most wonderful teachers. I’ll never forget Egypt Day when Shealyn and I made an amazing diorama of the Nile River, dressed up as Egyptians in togas, and put eyeliner on all the girls, even Dominick who could not get it off and had to keep it on for the rest of the day. It was so funny! Mediterranean Day was also very fun as we ate all types of Mediterranean foods such as humus, pita bread, grapes, baklava, and more. Of course our Athens vs. Sparta field day competition was full of fun as we raced each other around the pond and played various games. Sixth grade was a yet another great year and one that I really

    This was a benefit to me in order to start taking biomedical science related courses soon after. I start to swim the science field gradually by taking basic science courses like : organic chemistry , biochemistry and biology. My pleasure was poster projects that were asked by the professor, because it allowed me to conduct research about the subject and build it from scratch. After one year of pre-requisite courses, I started the major courses. I still remember the anatomy course were I used to memorize all the weird muscle name and then practice at home.

  • Personal Narrative: Mr. Desantis

    The first time I noticed that learning can be fun and I actually enjoyed some topics was in the seventh grade. Before then, everyone had the universal thought that kept repeating, "Ew school. I hate it here." I entered my science classroom for the first time and my teacher, Mr. DeSantis, introduced himself. He was a very likable man, but the real challenge he faced was trying to make these students actually enjoy his class and not give him a hard time because it is middle school after all. The year began somewhat shakey in other classes, but Mr. DeSantis made it interesting. We started off with the anatomy, the basics of course, and it was phenomenal. He taught with passion and sincerity, giving personal examples of injuries and trauma he

    Where teachers teaching methods were kind of silly, making us copy whatever they wrote on the chalkboard and rewrite it over and over. Our homework was pretty much the same deal, after all it was only elementary school. Lunch at our school was an adventure, there was a river behind our school so we would go out there and look for fruit trees. We would eat mangos or whatever fruit we could find and some boys will even go swimming. So arriving to a place that had everything that I needed at my fingertips and lunch served in an air conditioned room; not understanding anyone or anything made it a very terrifying experience in many

    In the beginning of the semester, I thought it would be enjoyable to take Anatomy and Physiology since I had already taken it in high school and actually received a high grade. I had heard from many students that this class is much harder in college and will often have a big lecture setting with more than three-hundred students, but I brushed this off and went into the classroom with a positive attitude. I quickly learned that big lectures were not the classes that I would succeed in, instead I preferred a small classroom setting where I am able to ask questions whenever needed. Throughout the semester, I also learned that I prefer online classes when it comes to mathematics and social sciences because they can be self-taught and I found myself often uninterested during the
