There is a better way to teach science that will build understanding instead of our current model which is effectively just memorizing facts. That way is to teach physics before doing advanced classes in either chemistry or biology! The anecdotal evidence from my class and from studies done indicate that the earlier a student sees physics
There is a better way to teach science that will build understanding instead of our current model which is effectively just memorizing facts. That way is to teach physics before doing advanced classes in either chemistry or biology! The anecdotal evidence from my class and from studies done indicate that the earlier a student sees physics the more they will understand chemistry and biology and the relationship between them. Our nation is currently 27th in the world in Science acumen… we can change that by changing how science is taught.
