Recent revisions to standards and standardized tests are including more scientific content. The reason science education is so important is because it prepares students to be informed citizens and knowledgeable consumers (National Governors Association

and cons regarding ethics of dissection. Dissection has many benefits. The experience of dissection is unforgettable. “Things you can actually touch usually stick in your head better,” according to Dr. Damon Scoville. Dissection is an approach to science that creates a lasting impression. Students gain many things from an experience with dissection. Some of which include respect for life, and necessary skills for dissection that will be useful later in higher level classes. The hand’s on job really

While reflecting, I did some research and asked questions to the science teacher I observed. Rubrics are very effective and motivational ways for students to better understand the

His father helped him out when all of Homer's rocket supplies were stolen in Indianapolis the night before the science fair. His father made him

Science is an aspect of life and something which is identifiable in every student’s lives as it is continuously extended, refined and revised. In the text, Taking Science to School, there are five points identifying why science should be taught science. The five reasons include “1. Science is a significant part of human culture and represents the human thinking capacity, 2. It provides common experience for development of language, logic, and problem solving skills to be used in the classroom, 3

Inquiry is the process that governs how students learn within the contents of science education. The textbook defined inquiry as the process that students should use to learn science (Martin, Sexton, Franklin, Gerlovich, & McElory 2009). They should be able to ask questions, use their questions to plan and conduct a scientific investigation, use appropriate science tools and scientific techniques, evaluate evidence and use it logically to construct several alternative explanations, and communicate

Whether God blesses me to teach in a graded setting or a multiage setting, one aspect of my classroom will be the same. Christ will be the cornerstone of everything we do and learn and our classroom organization will reflect that. My plan for a multiage classroom will incorporate that cornerstone. From the moment a student, caregiver, or faculty member walks into our classroom, they will be able to see that Christ is at the center of everything we do. Our classroom will have a class verse which the
