The other day I did a lesson where I just couldn't figure out how to get the information to them. I gave them a blank flowchart with a few prompts and we did classification of matter. I felt like the worst teacher ever. The students just sat there quietly and took notes.
"Who are these children and what have they done with my students?"
I've had two labs this week. One on fractional distillation and one on identification of substances through density. So many of the students *hated* them. What gives?
What teacher taught these kids to sit there and take notes? Who made them hate thinking? Why do they want to be spoonfed. It's SCIENCE. It's fun! I know that they all won't share my love of science but stinky things, shiny things, smoky things..... I just don't get it.
