Today in class we had group discussions about science articles we had written reviews about. I thought this was a great idea because we each used our listening and communicating skills. It was great to get the opportunity to listen to the varying articles my peers had found. I will use this strategy in my future classroom so students can share their work with their peers. This was a great assignment to get better related with the science world around us.
Searching for an interesting article to use with an elementary science class can sometimes be difficult. It is important to keep in mind to find a topic that is both relatable and interesting to children. While searching for an article to review for my Science Methods class, I came across a great article from yahoo.com. It is titled, “Germany sells vision for ‘green toys’ to world.” There is a particular issue involved in this article. In this issue, the author explains how we need to teach children about the future and the importance of living a green lifestyle. I chose this particular topic because children can easily relate to having toys and learning how they are eventually going to evolve into becoming green toys. This article could be introduced to the class during an eco-friendly introduction lesson. I could read the article to the class or have the class read it aloud or independently. We could then brainstorm ideas of why going green is important and what we could do to make our lives more eco-friendly.
