Free Science Curriculum That Includes EveryoneIs it really true that our free science curriculum is 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 free science curriculum has been designed to keep everyone interested:
Realistic Free Science CurriculumWe hope one thing noticeably missing from our website and free science curriculum, or at least used sparingly, are the words “easy” and “simple” (we’re not fans of exclamation points either!!!!!). Nowadays those two words tend to be overused, and in most cases they exaggerate a claim. If you’ve ever had trouble assembling something that the directions said to just “simply” do, then you understand where we’re coming from. The other reason we try to avoid the words “easy” and “simple” is that there’s nothing particularly easy and simple about a well-done lesson. An easy science curriculum would amount to giving students a worksheet or pushing “play” on the vcr. Guiding a class of 30 students through a 45 minute journey through a topic in which everyone in the room learns something meaningful is actually pretty hard to do. Our Free Science Curriculum Builds CredibilityImagine this- the bell rings at the beginning of class and you immediately begin lecturing. Is anyone listening? Unless you’re a phenomenal speaker, the answer for most of us is no. You first have to build credibility with them, or, put another way- give them a reason to listen. With it, you’ve got their attention because they understand the purpose. Without it, you will have trouble making any free science curriculum meaningful. And this must be repeated every single day. It’s almost like you’re a salesman (in this case you’re selling concepts and ideas). In our free science curriculum, the hands-on activities is what we use to get students to “buy into” the lesson. These activities soften their minds, gets them to put away distracting thoughts, and brings them all to a common place where you can teach to everyone. Other Places |
