Try It Out!!

Creativity in creating a lesson is as simple as designing an experiment that is fun and educational, like using marshmallows to learn force. Not all experiment correspond to the traditional thought of a science and the scientific method. having fun an innovation lessons is the way most associate creativity with science. creating explanations that fit evidence is not normally thought of as involving creativity. However, it is important because scientist must use their background about the topic with which their are experimenting in order to understand the results. Not all experiments have results scientists are expecting, so they must think creatively to understand what the results were, how they fir into what is being investigate, and how to form a valid explanation of their results.

Open Ended

Think of a time when you did an experiment and it did not turn out the way you expected. What did you do? How did you creatively turn it into a positive situation?

Open Ended

Think of your favorite science experiment. Write about why it was your favorite, and if you think your teacher needed creativity to come up with it?
