Mind Sets and the Rice Experiment Video

"The view you adopt for yourself greatly affects the way you lead your life" Dr. Carol Dweck 

 

We have been talking a lot about having a "growth mindset". This mindset helps students learn, grow, and feel confident in their skills. I really like how the focus is on praising students for their efforts, not their intelligence.

Here is a short video explaining mindsets: https://youtu.be/TTXrV0_3UjY

Here is a video that we used to discuss scientific method and experimenting that went very well with our learning about growth mindsets and self talk. Hopefully your student talked with you about this rice experiment! https://youtu.be/31shlv5Z71A
