Making Science Fun!
When students encounter new information, they need to make a personal connection and apply it to something that they already know. Many of the students who dislike science, are not able to make this type of connection. It is a teachers' responsibility to find ways to explain concepts so that they make sense to students. I found this great site that explains the science behind amusement park rides. It is very interesting ... and the amusement park aspect will have students hooked!
