Teaching science allows you to be creative and to use a variety of approaches for instruction. Students and colleagues always bring in stuff…dead birds, deer hearts, hawk talons, etc. and businesses and colleges like to give things away to science teachers. I feel that science teachers are lucky because it is easy to engage students and you often reach some of those students that many other teachers have a hard time developing rapport with. The BEST part of the job….the clean slate you get at the start of the next year and being able to change things that didn’t work.
