THC Science Organizer

Created by
The Reason Why
Instead of asking students what they know, want to know and learned. Ask them what they think, how they can find out and what they conclude. This way is much easier to pull information out of them. Most of the time when I would ask them what they want to know, they would say nothing. This is set up for science, meaning it has them write down an inquiry question at the top to explore.

About the store

Experience

I have taught in a Title 1 School for the past 4 years teaching 7th grade science. This school was also an IB school. This upcoming year I will be teaching 8th grade life science.

Teaching style

I love structuring lessons which promote the natural curiosity of students...allowing them the opportunity to discover scientific elements with a hands-on approach. My reward as an educator is experiencing the wonder and excitement that unfolds as their learning occurs.

My own education history
