Science as a Formative Subject<\/strong><\/h1>\n

When students walk into school every morning, they should be excited to engage, participate, and learn.\u00a0 Students should especially be excited about their science classes.\u00a0 Natural and physical sciences can capture anyone’s interest in class, but it must be done correctly!\u00a0 Whether students take biology, AP chemistry, physics, or whatever amazing class they are enrolled in, students need to dive deep into what they learn in class to truly absorb the content.<\/p>\n

Being an exemplary science teacher is EASY, and even YOU can be one!\u00a0 All it takes is some hard work, dedication, and proper preparation.<\/p>\n

Using Past Strategies<\/strong><\/h1>\n

If you haven’t already, one excellent paper to start off reading is\u00a0The Voices of Exemplary Science Teaching\u00a0<\/em>by Ann E. Haley-Oliphant.\u00a0 Throughout her writing, she gives multiple case studies of science teachers of EVERY grade level and science demand showing their excellent teaching strategies with their students.<\/p>\n

The overall lesson to be learned from these exemplary teachers is the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Many of the lessons are\u00a0student-lead<\/li>\n
  • Teachers had students do a lot of\u00a0hands-on\u00a0<\/strong>activities<\/li>\n
  • The labs or activities done were\u00a0intriguing\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0had students creating\u00a0authentic science.<\/li>\n
  • While in class, students had an opportunity to create useful conversation with each other, and communicated their thoughts and findings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Students will never truly understand scientific concepts unless teachers are able to make the class fully immersed into their lessons and activities #EDT431<\/a> #exemplaryscienceteaching<\/a><\/p>\n
