Science teacher: The microscope "e" lab kills science - 0 views

  •  
    A provocative piece from a really great biology blogger on how the microscope "e" lab and learning all the parts of the microscope kills interest in biology. Instead, have students start by observing real, live, big things under a dissecting scope or a magnifying glass first.

US students need new way of learning science - 1 views

  • Traditionally, science in the United States has been taught in isolated disciplines such as chemistry, biology and physics without clear connections being made between the subjects. The 8+1 effort encourages K-12 teachers to use the eight science concepts to build understanding within and between their courses as students advance through the grades.
  • Today's frontiers in science often occur at these disciplinary edges. Aided by the explosion in technology and scientific discoveries, new fields are arising that were hardly imagined a generation ago such as synthetic biology, digital organisms and genomics.
