A Great Way to Teach Students About the Nature of Science
Overall, I found the content of this article to be refreshingly new and creative. I really loved the ideas that it contained for the science activity with the light-up shoes! My students are always so fascinated by learning about things that connect to their own lives, so I could see this activity going over very well with the students in my current classroom. I think that these activities would really show students what it is like to be a scientist, because the students do not get to find out whether their theories about the shoes are correct, just as scientists do not always get to know for sure if their theories are correct. In the future, I will definitely consider using this activity for teaching students about circuits and the nature of science.
