Here\u2019s how you can inspire children to think and act like scientists!<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Encourage curiosity of nature and science<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passion and interest are the most important parts of being a scientist. Students should be motivated to learn and work hard. Here\u2019s how you can appeal to their curiosity when teaching:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guide them to ask essential questions and draw their own conclusions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make learning fun: have hands-on activities, engaging videos, and content that will pique their interest<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give them opportunities to share their learning with the class and encourage them to share it with their family at home as well<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show them how science connects to their everyday lives to encourage their interest and awareness of science. For example, let them think about how laws of physics apply to roller coasters.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to the above, show them how science is a part of major real world issues such as global warming<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Provide them with opportunities to work with others<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaboration and working with others are key parts to being a scientist. Many important scientific discoveries were not done alone but as a group. Teach students how to learn from and help others. Teamwork makes the dream work! You can do this by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having class discussions or opportunities where students share their ideas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having group projects or have students work together in table groups<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having labs and other hands-on activities that are partner or group activities<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Let them discover their own conclusions<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many textbooks tell students concepts and explain why they work, but scientists in the real world do not have textbooks telling them the answers. Often, activities where students can find things out for themselves are much more effective than reading a textbook or listening to a lecture, because the student will absorb the information and remember it much better.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide opportunities like experiments and labs that are engaging and let students discover scientific concepts themselves. For example, for gas laws, have a lab where students have to do different experiments with balloons so that they can observe and learn about the relationships between pressure, temperature, and volume.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than hands-on activities, you can also let them create graphs to understand relationships better, or have them identify patterns in a series of data.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-33862 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/students-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/students-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/students-500x360.jpg 500w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/students.jpg 559w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/students-24x17.jpg 24w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/students-36x26.jpg 36w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/students-48x35.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/92416586@N05\/12188789746\">Image source<\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Help them connect their learning across various subjects<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The understanding of how science connects to other disciplines is fundamental and extremely useful for scientists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Math: calculations in science can often seem daunting to students. Help them understand the concept behind it and then show how that translates into an equation. Understanding how the equation works makes it much easier to remember and use. Graphs are also a powerful tool in science that students should know how to read and make. They can illustrate patterns and the relationships between two variables.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading: reading comprehension skills are very important because scientists do tons of research on the topics they are studying to learn more and understand their topic the best they can. Have students take notes on articles or textbook chapters or have a research project so that they can learn how to connect their learning across a variety of sources, pick out and absorb important information, and make sure the sources they use are trustworthy. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>By Vivien Chen<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Date: April 12, 2022<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>Sources<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/education\/blog\/inspire-children-to-think-and-act-like-scientists\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/education\/blog\/inspire-children-to-think-and-act-like-scientists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/blog\/how-to-teach-students-to-think-like-scientists\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/blog\/how-to-teach-students-to-think-like-scientists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naeyc.org\/resources\/blog\/inspire-children-think-and-act-scientists#:~:text=Thinking%20and%20acting%20like%20scientists,think%20and%20talk%20like%20scientists\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.naeyc.org\/resources\/blog\/inspire-children-think-and-act-scientists#:~:text=Thinking%20and%20acting%20like%20scientists,think%20and%20talk%20like%20scientists<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image source Inspiring students to think like scientists teaches them how to be capable and independent learners.
