Listen "An NIU STEM educator explains why so many students misunderstand what science is | Teachers' Lounge Podcast"
Episode Synopsis
An Northern Illinois University physics educator knows that all it takes for kids to get excited about science is their natural curiosity about the world around them.“I've compared it to to listening to a song in a language you don't understand. You can you can hear the melody. You can appreciate the beauty. But if you learn that language, then all of a sudden you know what the song is about. You understand the subtext. So, we can appreciate the world around us, just like that song, but it's written in the language of math and science."It’s here on a new Teachers' Lounge!
