Caitlyn Foster reflects on her experiences with science from elementary school through college. She notes that her most positive experiences involved hands-on learning and passionate teachers who made science relatable and interesting through stories and field trips. Her least favorable experiences were in high school chemistry and physics, where teachers lectured from textbooks without labs or experiments. Foster believes the best way to learn science is through active involvement like experiments and that teachers should give students opportunities to explore scientific theories for themselves.

Science and thinking

 

As I look back at my scienceeducation, I realize that I really learned very little science in elementaryschool and high school. The fact that I studied science for approximatelytwelve years and brought away just a few bits of knowledge is amazing. Howcould I study science for that many years and learn hardly anything? The answerto this question lies in the way that I was taught to think about science.

 

The first science that I rememberis studying the dinosaurs. This was in first or second grade. I cannot rememberexactly what we did with the dinosaur lesson, but I do remember learning theirnames, although I could not tell you them today.

 

In third grade, we had a science textbook.I don’t remember what was in the book, but I do remember the teachermaking us read it out loud in class. Everyone was expected to read oneparagraph, and we went through the rows until we had finished the chapter. Ihated this, because I was deathly afraid of reading out loud in class. Since Ihad this great fear, I would always county the paragraphs and the people in therows ahead of me to figure out what paragraph that I would have to read. Then Iwould read it over and over in my head until it was my turn to read.
