Dear Fellow Educator,

Science is a process of investigating and not writing or reading. Yet, science teachers are assigning writing and reading homework at an alarming rate. These assignments, in place of laboratory work and demonstrations, are nothing more than busy work and a sure sign that the science teacher isn't prepared to teach.

A true science teacher knows and understands the subject so well that they can teach it without the book. They can bring science to life with a demonstration, an activity or lab.

The true science teacher uses writing and reading as tools for recording keeping and organization but not as the main instruction.

Science should be active and fun not tedious and dry. If science isn't one of the most interesting classes on campus the science teachers are failing.

Whether it is an actual lab activity, mini-lab or table challenge students should have the opportunity to do science not just read about it.

Effective Science Activities, was developed to help teachers create "budget friendly" lab activities that encourage curiosity and incorporate scientific as well as critical thinking skills.

To Your Success,
