When you look back at your academic career what do you remember most?<\/p>\n

It’s not the lectures and worksheets; it’s the engaging<\/strong> activities\u00a0and labs! Engaging activities and labs help student become active in their learning which helps them understand and remember the material. Plus, they are often fun! This is probably why you remember them so well!<\/p>\n

Finding the perfect activities can be time consuming and sometimes they aren’t cheep. In this blog I will highlight 5 free resources<\/strong> that can be used in your science classroom to engage students<\/strong> in their learning.<\/p>\n

Demos are a great way to engage<\/strong> students! They are a great way to show students a concept instead of telling them. The students can make observations<\/strong> and ask questions<\/strong> throughout the demonstration. Teachers can ask students questions throughout the demo to help them through their thinking.
