Priscillah tells us about her surprise that even students who would normally be disengaged during lessons were able to draw correct conclusions during an enquiry into soil amounts/types and water retention.

I think I was . . . I could see what they really came up with, especially when we conducted the experiment. Yeah, quite right for the types of soil, they had learned that previously, but we didn’t, like, conduct any experiments but after conducting that, especially on water retention itself, they were able to see, they were able to investigate water retention using different amounts of soil and, as well as using different types of soil, was, after they had done that I remember we asked certain groups to report their findings. It was so interesting to see. Even those that don’t take part, those that don’t. . .take part actively in the lessons, they were able to do it yester . . .at the time we conducted the experiments ‘cause they were able to give out correct, you know, recordings, correct findings of their . . Yeah. They could . . .I I remember one girl could say, when they were investigating about water retention in soil by different amounts of soil. I asked them, so what does this show? You know, looking at what you’ve. . .you’ve collected and everything, so what does this show? The girl was about to say, ‘this really shows that the more amount of soil you have, the more water retention’, you know, or the higher the water retention. So, You know, I found it so interesting, because, I didn’t imagine that girl, actually, could take part, could actually explain like that. So, to me, it was a surprise. So, it was so encouraging to see them talk about their findings.
