Eggs-periencing Parenthood
|
|
|
Students in Ms. Mackenzie Meyers’ AP Psychology class explored human development and the impact of parenting styles. As part of the lesson, students participated in an assignment where the "health" of an egg was tied to their grade.
This hands-on activity helped students recall information more effectively by connecting it to a tangible issue. After completing the assignment, they analyzed their "parenting" approach and reflected on which style they aligned with.
An added benefit? They gained insight into the responsibilities of caring for something 24/7.
