3. Teaching Science
• a great challenge
• a great way for good teaching
• way of connecting and bringing real world to the classroom
• creating pedagogy that combines curiosity and discovery with curriculum-
based possibilities
• combined with other subjects makes Science gets even better and more
real-world relevant
• it provides opportunities for problem solving not just worksheet completing
To open way for wonder and learning teachers must change the mindset of students
that worksheets are only for completion instead a possibility to express creativity.
