Can you feel it? Spring is near! Extra sunlight, warmer weather, and flowers blooming are a welcome reminder that Spring is right around the corner. As educators, it is an ideal time to expand on the teaching moments around us. Your kids are likely noticing flowers are budding, the weather is getting warmer, new baby animals are around, and the day is lighter after dinnertime. By tapping into the world around us and the changing seasons, we are able to learn about the need for transition. Every season of our lives may unfold naturally, when we allow it the time to do so.
Through the use of real life experience and anecdote, students will understand that although the scientific tools and the scientific process don't seem to relate to various jobs in real life, almost every working uses science and scientific tools daily. Students will learn how each tool can help them learn in school, and how the same tools will help them in life. Relatable jobs and people will help make the concept of science - from classroom to life-more concrete. Bonus Feature includes an experiment with a real world scientist creating a super bouncy ball.
Find out how the same lab tools students use in the classroom are used in a variety of careers from construction to chef to doctor.
