"Scientific Me" Essay

Here is the LINK to my Scientific Me Essay. Our Professor had us complete an essay about our past experiences with Science. Included in the essay, I had explained my experiences from Elementary School up until now. Science has always been an interesting and essential subject for me. I enjoy doing hands-on activities that have to do with Science and I cannot wait to teach it to young learners in years ahead.

Drawing of Professor Charles Hair

Pictured is my drawing of Professor Charlies Hair. During our first day of Science Methods class, the Professor had asked us each to draw our best pictures of what we think a science teacher/class would look like. I chose the name because it was the first silly name that I could think of. Each student was given 5-10 minutes to draw their pictures without looking at anyone else's pictures.

It was very interesting to walk around the room afterwards and look at all of the other students drawings and names of their scientists. Each drawing shared something so similar. Most students drew their scientists with glasses as well as crazy hair. Most had a lab coat on as well. Each student had also came up with different and unique names for their Science teachers. Most of the names consisted of Dr. or Professor which was interesting.

I think the activity the professor had us complete was essential and exciting. It really gives each of us a chance to use our minds and begin with the important factors of what may be in a science classroom as well as what a Scientist/Science teacher may look like. I can't wait to study more and learn how to teach young children all about Science!
