Building literacy in playful, meaningful ways. The poem in this month's article shows useveryday uses of energy, force, and motion.
I found this article to be enlightening. Energy can be a hard concept to teach students. However, this article provides many real-life examples of energy we can discuss for students to better understand. When we connect topics to real-life, students are more likely to remember the topic. I plan to teach younger students. This article provided a useful poem regarding energy that I will be able to incorporate into my lessons.
Hello Olivia, I agree with your post! I really liked how the article provided an activity that is useful when students are learning about energy which is an abstract concept for them to understand therefore it can be challenging.
On this topic, you might find my recent article on energy useful, from the Sept-Oct issue of Science and Children:
