Science Circus Fun!

Today in my Elementary Science Curriculum and Instruction course, we had a science circus. The circus was centered on the theme of sound. There were six different stations that each group had about 5 minutes to complete. We did different activities, each encompassing the concept of soound and pitch and the different ways sound can be projected. I think that students will enjoy activities incorporated into a science circus. It gives them a chance to get up and moving and to learn in a fun, exciting way. Rather than lecturing and giving worksheets, they will learn on their own through actual "hands on" experience. I'm looking forward to putting together my Science Circus and watching the reactions of my students. I'm sure their eagerness to learn will be evident, as will be my eagerness to guide them in the learning process.
