How to engage students in science?

From hearing and watching through the years, science is considered one of the least favorite school subjects for elementary students and as s a future teacher I want to ask what are some of the best ways to make science fun for younger students?

Hello Jennifer,

I think that the way to make science fun for students is to make the lessons hands-on. I also believe you should make the lessons relevant to your students and allow them to make connections to their prior knowledge so that they are able to internalize the new information. I think making it relevant to the students would get them engaged and interested in the lessons and ultimately make it fun for them.
