I was recently reading the July-August 2025 issue of "Science and Children", a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.
In this issue, I read the section, "Editor's Note" written by Elizabeth Barrett-Zahn. She wrote an article entitled, "Exploring Real-World Problems."
Students in classrooms are encouraged to act as problem-solvers, inventors and young scientists. Real-world problems, big or small, offer meaningful opportunities to engage students in authentic science that matters.
