One really cool lab I got to teach was an Ag mechanics demonstration as part of AEE 412. I could choose whichever topic within Ag mechanics that I wanted to showcase.
Demo
I chose to demonstrate how to rip an electrical cable. I utilized the electrical wiring equipment that was available for me to use.
In my demo, I explained vocab and tool identification. I then walked through the steps, had a student tell the class the steps, and finally had a student demonstrate the correct process.
Final Thoughts
Overall I think my demonstration went really well. I focused on explaining every step clearly which enabled the class to follow along and demonstrate the correct procedures. I plan on using these strategies in the spring during my student teaching internship as part of my electrical wiring unit.
Olivia, I like how you incorporated vocab and tools into your lesson, since those are things that students will need to know and utilize throughout your unit on electricity. Choosing a topic that you will be using next semester was a wise choice and gave you a chance to test our your demo skills before doing this activity with students.
