Why and How Should I Teach Science to Children?

What Are Your Elementary and Middle School Science Experiences?

Materials Needed:


1		Think back to your elementary and middle school days. Do you recall your teachers teaching science? What do you remember about learning science in early elementary grades? Middle grades? What kinds of topics did your teachers cover? How did they teach science?Did you take field trips to planetariums, zoos, or science museums? Did you conduct "experiments"? Were you required to complete a science fair project? Take notes in your portfolio about what you remember.



2		What science learning experiences are most vivid in your mind? Do you remember stories such as about Newton "discovering" gravity when an apple fell on his head? Write a short paragraph in your portfolio about your most vivid memories of science learning experiences.
