problems in teaching science?

The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames. I have taught for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three, even four hours. Not only that, but they then show the most rapid improvement.\nCheck out the following websites for some useful background info.\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-1.html\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-2.html\n\nhttp://subscriptions.fasfind.com/wwwtools/m/208.cfm\n\nhttp://www.gama.org/uploads/nS/XX/nSXX7lbqv9r-V1glq3UvQg/GinEBrochure1.pdf\n\nGive it a try and you will be amazed. At least you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.

I agree role play is a very effective way to teach...\n\nsome additional suggestions:\nHave each student play both sides of any "scene" and then open the discussion up to comments from the entire class.\n\nYou could have a list of things to be discussed and have the first student draw a topic... who ever "answers" can be the next to draw a topic.

i think the answer lies in the method of teaching and the teacher themselves not properly motivating students

Im not sure but I think you need science classes like chemistry and biology. I dont think you need physics but just ask your teacher or a guidance councelor. And you will also need math classes.

Well, sorry don't know much about the scientific method... But I do know about the scholastic method...and it looks like you'll be failing!!! Due last Friday and you have not finished it yet... That sounds like a failing grade!!!

Teaching is an art, not a science.  It requires knowledge, but more than that, it requires caring whether your students understand or not.  It requires caring whether they learn the things that are important to them, and not just the things you think they need, or that the school board or the teacher's union tells you to teach.  It takes, in short, loving your students and loving to teach.\n\nThe worst thing that happened to education in this country is the teacher's union, that pretends teachers are all essentially the same, with seniority being the only important variable, just like factory workers.  Students are not products of factories, God help us!

It depends on what subject you teach. In the United States, there is a tremendous shortage of math and special education teachers. There is also a shortage of science teachers, but to a slightly smaller degree. There is a surplus of history and physical education teachers.

The skills in science are vastr and too numerous to even start listing them.  Here is a basic start:\n\nhttp://schoolscience.rice.edu/duker/life/lifescithink.html\n\nwww.stewart.cs.sdsu.edu/uabc_tour/skills.html

Try this, but remember, teachers are getting smarter about plagerizing...if you copy it word-for-word, expect an F, but if you site the sources, this should help.

Hi!  This has been my fav. site when it came to doing science projects so far.  http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/index.php\nRemember to call your local papers and have a write up done on it so you have a good turn out for the crowd.  Good luck!

Schools should, in my opinion, when teaching something that conflicts with religion, tell what is commonly believed in from a scientific standpoint, and make students aware that some religions have a different idea of what happened.\nJust my standpoint.

Not enough information to give a good response.  If you described the situation we might be able to better understand where the problem is - is it with the teacher, or is it with you?

You need to take as many science courses as you can...\nMath is also a necessity
