Welcome to another episode of the Teaching with Valor Podcast. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re diving into a topic that is crucial for sparking curiosity and nurturing critical thinking in our students: Engaging Science Lessons.
Whether you’re an elementary, middle, or high school teacher, creating science lessons that captivate, and challenge students is an art form that requires a deep understanding of content, pedagogy, and the diverse needs of our learners. We’ll explore strategies for making science come alive in your classroom, ensuring students not only understand the content but are inspired by it.
Along the way, we’ll discuss the integration of hands-on activities, the importance of inquiry-based learning, and how to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all students.
