Today in Science, we briefly discussed our past experiences with Science, and we found out that while most of us have some positive memories of Science, ALL of us have had some negative experiences as well! So we wondered: maybe Science is not really hard, maybe we just haven't been learning it in the most effective ways!
Each student filled out a survey to let me know about their interactions with Science. They wrote down some of what they liked/disliked, their hopes for our Science class this year, as well as words that they think relate to Science.
Here are the words we came up with:

I noticed a few things:
1. Many of the words are conflicting, or opposite. Especially the biggest words!
2. The word "sometimes" appears a lot - sometimes boring, sometimes interesting, sometimes fun. Nobody seemed to entirely love or totally hate Science.
3. Experiments was the biggest word that didn't have to do with how we FEEL about Science. I guess we are really hoping to do experiments this year!
So while we all know that Science can be frustrating, complicated, confusing, and sometimes boring, hopefully we can also make sure that our time in Science is interesting, fun, cool, and enjoyable as well!!
I'm really looking forward to learning with all of you this year!
