The Importance of Science Classrooms
It’s not always obvious that science shapes our daily lives, but the fact is science impacts countless decisions we make each day. From managing our health and well-being, or answering a child who asks why the sky is blue, science has an important role in our lives.?More than ever before, we need to create environments that inspire and prepare children to embrace science and potentially pursue it in their college and career choices.
Beyond the potential scientific breakthroughs, there are individual benefits to learning science, such as developing our ability to ask questions, collect information, organize and test our ideas, solve problems, and apply what we learn. Even more, science offers a powerful platform for building confidence, developing communication skills, and making sense of the world around us—a world that is increasingly shaped by science and technology.
