This semester I have learned about teaching science
in an Elementary classroom. I have studied various science concepts pertaining to physical, chemical, earth, space/astronomy,
and life science. Varying, modifying, and improving instruction are key procedures in teaching science. I now have a wealth
of knowledge on various science experiments and hands-on activities that i can utilize and incorporate into the classroom.
These forms of authentic assignments that I have studied allow all students to be engaged, think critically, and have fun.
Some examples of the content I have included within this website are: Hands-on Activities, Overhead Projector
Presentation, Famous Scientist Project, and a Power-Point Presentation.
Science Quotes!

in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them. ~William Lawrence Bragg
