Okay,
So after a week of trying to figure this out, I think I got it.

Lesson Reflection

My students had a blast with the inquiry lesson on building a series circuit.  They loved the hands on learning and I think their explanations were better with the hands on experience than they would have been had we only read the text.  They enjoyed using the materials.  They were more interested and engaged.  I plan to continue using hands on approaches in my classroom.

We did have to work on putting our explanation in a paragraph.  This lesson really brought to light the area of weakness for my students, which is writing a good scientific explanation.  Since this lesson I have included writing scientific explanations in my writing block.
