The new Science Teacher (TnST) is intended as a
reference source for pre-service teachers, current educators, and parents.
Our goal is that you will use this reference to research information about
science topics as well as the pedagogy behind appropriate teaching practices. We hope that, as a result of browsing this site and learning
more about scientific facts and appropriate teaching techniques, you will feel
eager to pass on the wonder and interest that science sparks to the children you
teach.
Inside TnST, you will
find credible science content, as well as links to exemplary science-centered
sites. Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence theory, cooperative learning
strategies, individual learning styles, and science classroom safety are among
the many topics discussed within these pages. We hope you enjoy learning
more about creating an interesting, successful science classroom, and we welcome
all of your suggestions.
TnST was created with
the grades K-8 in mind. We are certain that
different lessons and experiments can transcend the elementary or junior high
classroom, though, and we believe that even high school teachers will find this
site beneficial.
You are welcome to copy any of the images
you find on this site. If you would like, you are also welcome to link to
this site from your own homepage.
Welcome to TnST!
