| Describe a moment when your students experienced an “Ah-Ha” or “light bulb” moment because of something you taught them.
My students ah-ha moment was when I showed them a plastic elephant and placed it by my window. As the sun hit it, it started to move his ears. My students realized it was solar energy moving his ears and how how cool and powerful this was. Their faces lit up and each wanted an elephant of their own.
Yes, this moment grew from my Kenan Fellow experience because I was able to introduce this knowledge to them from my summer intern experience and present a solar energy lesson. Students were able to create a solar energy product as a result of the knowledge obtained from my fellowship. |
