Chapter 7: Integrating Science and Engineering 

Teaching science involves aligning your lessons with next-generation science standards. Science/engineering and language arts can all be incorporated during lessons. You can seek connections with language arts to science lessons. Science/engineering can be incorporated into mathematics. Based on the standards of both math and language arts you can use both in your science lesson and make the lesson even more intriguing.  

 Science/engineering can also be incorporated into social studies lesson, art and music and health and physical education. Teaching your students that science can be incorporated into all subjects can change their perception of science. Science becomes more interesting when it can be used in many different subjects and lessons. 
Chapter 8: Using Technology to Enhance Science Learning


 Technology is every where today. Rather than viewing technology as a negative, us future teachers should accept and incorporate technology into our daily instruction. By doing so children are provided with further research, communication, and information outside the classroom. In addition, students gain different insights from around the world, and it ultimately provides a mean of deeper understanding. 

Chapter 9: Adapting the Science Curriculum

 Educators must accommodate all students and their learning needs. From directions in both English and Spanish to parent communication. It is imperative to meet the needs of all students, be adaptive and willing to be flexible. Furthermore, accommodations and modifications will need to be made for students depending on their specific needs. All students deserves the same opportunity to learn and grow.

    This is a comment to your science joke... I have one for you! Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I think I've lost an electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive." or how about... A neutron walks into a toy store and grabs a toy. The salesman says to the neutron, "For you no charge." Finding fun and creative ways for students to make connections to the content they are learning is a great resource for retaining information. Meeting the needs of all our students will be challenging, but we just need to focus on inventive ways for them to understand subject matter. Poems, rhyme, song, jokes are great tools.

      HAHAHA ! I love it. I found myself reading aloud some to my family and we all were cracking up. I couldn’t agree more. Students learn by making connections and being engaged. I think telling a small joke in the beginning of a lesson is a great way to not only introduce a lesson, but engage and gather the attention of students as well. I find incorporating humor to be a fun way for both students and teachers.

Me Vs. Scientist

As I think back on my science experiences, the first memory that comes to mind is a volcano I made in 1st grade that was left on my desk for my parents to watch it erupt during open house. I have always found science rather intriguing. I believe it is constantly growing and adapting in a multitude of ways, from its research development to technology. Science was always a subject I throughly enjoyed, whether it was Earth Science and going through the life cycle, to dissecting pigs, and the human body. Being hands on during experiments or simply gathering information, I found all aspects of science to be useful in some way. Based on my personal experiences with school I would define science as the observation, study, and application of both living and nonliving things. Stereotypes linger around what / who a scientist is. Our class did an icebreaker activity where we were told to draw what we believe a scientist looks like. Most consisted of males in a lab coat wearing safety goggl

Climate what?

CLIMATE CHANGE ! This is not a joke, not something people should think can’t happen, IT IS HAPPENING .  Climate change is now faster and more prominent than ever before. Growing up I can remember hearing about it once and awhile, not ever questioning it or really thinking about more than in that moment. Today I see people standing on the side of busy roadways protesting change be done to help our Earth. Human health, agriculture, energy, ecosystems, and so much more are being impacted and effected by climate change at this very moment. How do we not see an issue with this ? maybe because the time there really is nothing left we may not be around? our children's children will be suffering but we won’t be there so it won’t matter, right? NO. We need to make a change now to prevent any further impacts on society. This young girl left me speechless. Her words, emotions, and the way she didn’t hold back was almost shocking to see. Her voice at such a young age is not only po
