End of the Year Reflection Hexagonal Thinking Activity:

This easy-to-implement activity is ideal for both middle school and high school science students. With no preparation required, educators can simply print the provided questions on a single sheet. Students are then guided to reflect and respond to six essential questions, fostering personal reflection and a positive end of the year wrap-up.

What is a Hexagonal Thinking One-Pager?

It’s a one-page worksheet with a hexagon split into six sections, each housing a unique and editable question. Your students get to answer questions like "What activity or lab experiment was most memorable to you?" in their own creative way. The questions are completely editable, so you can change them to suit your needs.

Once they've filled out their hexagons and cut them out, it's time for a class-wide brainstorm. Students find connections in their answers and link their hexagons together. For example, if a student responds that his most memorable activity was the Mystery Powders CSI Lab, and another student responds that she was challenged by the Forensic Science Activities, then those hexagon sides will be matched together. The class continues to collaborate as they connect hexagons based on shared or complementary responses. The result is a colorful tapestry of interests.

The goal of these resources is to get students to open up, connect, reflect on their experience in science classes at the end of the year. It's easy-to-use, customizable, and the perfect way wrap up the school year!
