I just want to start off by saying I'm an addict. I have been addicted to science, both learning and teaching, for as long as I can remember. The rush of planning experiments and learning new things with the students just keeps me coming back for more. I know I'm not the only one out there who feels this way.
What is it about teaching science that gets you hooked?

Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI like your blog name! For me, teaching science is about helping students understand that they have the ability to better understand the world around them if they choose to make their own observations and utilize their critical thinking skills.
From a slightly different perspective, the part about being a scientist (in my opinion) that gets you hooked is that if you are lucky, you will have a moment in time where you are the first person to know something that nobody else knows. Amy
I like teaching science because it is hands on and fun.
ReplyDeleteI was the kid who turned my Barbie Dream House into an ant hospital, and then cried because I wasn't allowed to keep it in my bedroom. (Thank God for mean mothers!)
At any rate... this just seemed to be the natural course of my life.
