JennW in SoCal Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I just found this blog this week, and love it. I thought my virtual friends here would appreciate this recent post about teaching science. She brings up Rosalind Franklin (of X-ray diagrams and tangental DNA fame) and quotes Feynman and Einstein. Enjoy! http://judson.blogs.nytimes.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 A very interesting post. I also enjoyed her post from the previous week concerning facial movements associated with various languages. Thanks for sharing, Jenn! Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan in Mass Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Very nice. I read it aloud to my son. His reaction: "Ok, so nothing remotely close to something I didn't already know. I suppose it was good to check, though." Which leaves me wondering if he was listening, or if I have been fairly successful. Now I feel guilty about making him sit down with his book instead of letting him go out and whistle for crows. I still say that it is really, really hard to find a balance between teaching them things like how to write a proper lab report and what happens during digestion, and teaching them to be scientists. Grrr... -Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
