Science definitely takes a back seat to language arts and math. As I have seen over and over in my field observations science and social studies are tossed aside. The teachers will only teach if they have left over time. This also means that when they do teach it, it is usually reading out of a textbook and answering a few questions. Science is a great opportunity for students to be hands on, soci...

I do believe that technology increases the amount of opportunities students have to cheat. When I was in school, and even now in college if I know that all I am aiming for is a grade, I will do as little as possible and put in just enough effort to get the grade.

Teaching About Weather Review

Krystal, you did an awesome job with your collection. I love how many resources there are. If I was teaching this subject I'm sure I would have no problem gathering all the information I needed. Your first resource gives an awesome idea. I love that the students are able to create their own weather reports and share them with the class. This let's them use their imagination and creativity. I consider creativity to be one of the most important things that should be utilized. I also liked how in the journal article Fabulous Weather Day the school tried to involve a scientist. Whenever it is possible I think we should include professionals in learning. They have more knowledge on the subject that teachers may not know. The most resourceful was the book chapter Weather by Lawrence Lowery. This book has countless activities for every aspect of weather you want to teach. I think all of these can be put to good use. Great Job!
