Hello. I am a student currently in a science methods course. I thought my first science lesson today about liquids. The hardest part of the lesson was the discussion. How do I get the students to understand what I want them to learn without telling them. It took me quite a while to get students to understand that liquids take the shape of the container they were in. I could really use some tips on how to get students to grasp science concepts. Thank you

I believe lots of visuals and hands on activities would be useful to spark discussion. You could also try to add in how it is relevant to them/ their lives by finding connections on where and when they could see this concept at home or in the community .
