Kids learn that they can accomplish something they never imagined they could do, build a boat which floats and carries people, and they get to directly experience the results.David Cockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488873209772046260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-25783174160165185182012-01-06T10:41:31.325-06:002012-01-06T10:41:31.325-06:00the link is brokenthe link is brokenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-4309791342364554012012-01-06T10:06:24.827-06:002012-01-06T10:06:24.827-06:00I think much of what can be said for math can also...I think much of what can be said for math can also be said for science. So much of what we do as teachers relies on our ability to get our kids "hooked". I have taught science for 15 years, but it is my first time incorporating woodworking into my curriculum. I have always tried my best to get students to take responsibility for their learning and show interest, and this year I can honestly say that I am doing this better than ever- and I teach in an alternative setting. Woodworking has not only allowed me to hook my kids, it has enabled me to drop anchor! Ahoy Matey!Chris Sagnellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325679500057317981noreply@blogger.com
