How is your view of science teaching changing as a result of viewing the “Challenge Me” videos and thinking/making posters about National Science Education Standards about teaching?
I not sure that my view of how science should be taught has changed much from these things. I have thought of many activities that I want to incorporate into my classroom because of learning about the standards and seeing the "Challenge Me" videos. I feel as all my classes area overlapping and discussing how inquiry is the best way to teach students. The students should pose questions and work through them by problem solving and figuring out new ways when they get stuck. Students should keep questioning for further understanding and experiments that could be done. I feel like none of this occurred in my science education. We had a set hypothesis we were testing and once we found the answer that was it, we weren't allowed to ask further questions. There are labs I did that I feel like the teacher showed me the answers and didn't give me the hints that could of allowed me to the discover the answers from my own reasoning. I have learned that there should be adequate time for the students to ask questions and work through their answers to full understanding. I agree that topics should be taught for depth ad understanding. It is more beneficial for the students if you start from what they bring to the table and then cover the topics in depth instead of relearning all the concepts every year.
