Interactive Science Lessons With A Math Emphasis

With all the emphasis being placed on students being able to learn and perform mathematics, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get and hold students' attention when we try to teach. They do math in every classroom now, and with that kind of competition you'd at least like to make your presentation interesting. You'll find a strong emphasis on math when you do these lessons:

The nice thing about the math in these lessons is there's a point to it, so it's not just rote and repetitive. In fact the numbers can get downright crazy, but the mystery unfolding in the lesson will keep most of your students from putting up those "fear walls" that can shut down all thinking. And in many of our other lessons we've tried to sneak in as much math as we could. Suddenly, implementing math isn't so bad, is it?

Including Everyone

Is it really true that these lessons are for every student in your room? Let’s see- we know the “good” kids who normally pay attention will continue to do so. But what about the daydreamers, the troublemakers, and those who panic when things get “wordy” and technical? Our Interactive lessons have been designed to keep everyone interested. The daydreamer will become intrigued with the demonstration. Troublemakers are usually kids who hate worksheets because they have trouble reading, so they’ll love getting their hands on science. And those easily frightened will be ok too, because they’ll get a boost of confidence from what they did themselves. And that which you have done with your own hands you are no longer afraid of.
