Teaching Science

Grace and I made a video about science fair projects.

Grace is interviewing me about  science fair projectss. Grace was
given a script to follow, which is one way kids can learn to
how to interview someone.

After kids have practiced interviewing each other, they will
be ready to interview people outside the classroom. For example,
kids can find out about different ordinary events that relate to
science, such as gardening and cooking.

1. Don’t OVER TEACH. This means to ask questions, then give the answers before kids have time to think. In science, answers to questions are best learned by discovery. Your best answer to most questions is: “I wonder… Why does that happen?” “Let’s Find Out!” Don’t be surprised that discovering answers for themselves is fun and exciting and they may balk at being spoon fed information. Telling the answer is like telling you the name of the villain before you read the last chapter.

2. No matter your science background, be the facilitator or even better, partner with your child as you play and find out about science together.

3. Remember: While every child will not choose a science career, every child will benefits from mastering science skills.
