Part of the reason I started this blog was to talk about the happy part of science and nature. I feel like there is an excessive amount of negative and downright scary things going on in the world today. Not that we shouldn't be aware of them, but just like the nightly news (and any online news) most of it is negative, scary, and out of our control.
When I was conducting research lately, I found a great article that was more geared toward science teachers in grade school, but I thought the key points were valid in general. It was from a science teaching magazine.
Consider developmental appropriateness for the content being taught:
- Keep the project focused close to home, in your region
- Focus on keeping the overall tone of the project positive
- Focus on controllable things, and let the student take the lead
- The environmental concepts should be focused on your curriculum
- Foster creativity on the project you are creating, and brainstorm solutions
