Science Philosophy

My Science Philosophy of teaching involves using Constructivism within the classroom and teaching students through guided discovery. In this picture, students are exploring the different properties of objects through a microscope. I believe students need hands on learning experiences and need to make connections from newly learned concepts to previously learned concepts, and across curriculum. I plan on incorporating these theories and ideas in my future classroom. I believe in asking convergent and divergent questions and giving students the opportunity to discover the answers to these questions, as well as others. In my classroom, I will be teaching the students current Scientifc concepts as required by the state and supported programs.
