Teaching Science for Newbie Teachers

Hello,

I am Emily Storm and I am a future educator.  I am currently a teacher candidate at the University of Arkansas.  I am enrolled in a class all about teaching science.  To my current knowledge, science is one of the subjects that isn't as focused on in elementary schools around.  What can I do as a future educator to change that?  How can I interest more students in science and its importance?  I also am required to teach a science lesson this semester and I wanted to know if anyone had any good science topics or ideas that you can recommend to me so that I can create an impactful lesson for an elementary class?

Thank you!

An integrated approach can allow you to include science topics and concepts into non-science lessons. 

This is a very affordable resource you may find useful:
