Research shows that presenting science concepts in a variety of ways helps every student, not just those who have trouble learning with traditional methods. On a large scale, President Obama’s 2009 program trained 10,000 new math and science teachers and hoped to insert high-quality math and science programs in into new classrooms at a cost of 260 million dollars.
On a much more affordable scale, many resources are available for classroom teachers and parents at TeachersPayTeachers.com. Check out a few resources to make life science livelier.
