Get PDFScience Labs and Their Positive Impacts on Students’ Understanding of Science Concepts
Get PDFLaboratory experiments are an important aspect of science students' educational journeys. This paper demonstrates that when students perform labs in their science classes, they have an increased understanding of the associated science concepts, and they are better able to learn science as a result. Laboratory experiments give students the opportunity to enhance their discourse skills, work collaboratively with their peers, and connect science concepts to real life scenarios. Furthermore, laboratory experiments are learner-centered, and they are a tool science teachers can use that result in their students having increased understanding of abstract science concepts. All these aspects of laboratory experiments result in students having a better understanding of the content and an increased ability to learn science effectively
Navigating Discourse through Controversy in the Classroom
Get PDFSocial studies is an evolving subject that encompasses controversial issues including abortion, gun control, substance legalization, LGBTQ, civil rights issues, and more. To elevate discourse, teachers have a myriad of ways to elicit thought-provoking discussions among students.
