Hello Julissa, I agree that some students may not find science all that interesting. When I was in elementary, I did not find it too fascinating but when we did hands-on projects or activities, it definitely caught my attention. For example, in fifth grade, we learned about the plant cycle and all the elements that went into it. Our teacher had us plant a bean into soil inside the milk cartons they provided for us for lunch. We would water them and set them up in the window for them to receive sunlight. After a few days, little plants, roots, and leaves started to appear. Teachers can implement exciting activities like this one to help maintain and keep students attention. They have alot of energy at their age so providing them with hand-on projects help them retain more the content. 

Hello Julissa, I agree with you students think that is boring but as future teachers we need to create an environment that can include hands-on not only learning material. As elementry students I remember that I didn't like science because like you mention it was boring, for me they only gave me more learning material than experiments to do. 

Hi Julissa, I do agree with you there are many students who dilike science. I think that we are teachers should try our best to make it exciting for them. I believe that working on hands-on activities. As well as trying to talk to the students so they are able to see how they can relate to science in their personal lives. Get them going and interested in what the lesson is going to be about.
