Finding Science at School

Welcome back!!! Today, we are finding science in a place where most of us first learned about it...School!!! School may not be necessarily where we were intriduced to it, but it is definitely where some of us came to hate it or some of us came to love it. Loving it or hating it really depends on who your teacher was and if they made the learning process fun.

Not everyone can have Bill Nye the Science Guy for a teacher therefore may not be learning through experimentation. In my class, the teacher uses technology to teach science,or that is what I have seen in the two times I have been there. The first time they watched a movie on erosion from the Discovery website, this last time, they answered questions from a worksheet getting answers from a website. I feel the website was user friendly, but kind of on the yawn side.

I asked some of the students what they liked about science, if they liked science class and what they want to learn more about in science.

"I like science, it's fun."

"I like going to the science lab, because when we're done with our work we can play games."

"I like science class because lunch is right after it."

"I want to learn to make things explode."

There you have it, the people have spoken.
