There's the desire to teach the scientific method, and also the desire to convey the established literature in preparation for the (standardized) exams.
So, you design "labs" where the students "experiment."
This is my experience at a high school in Florida.
- neutronicus 5y agoIt might behoove you to think of these as exercises in "measurement" rather than "experiment"
- gumby 5y agoThe point is that’s now how it is framed by the school. So people grow up thinking there’s an absolute, precise, and “correct” answer and anything else is “wrong”
- t0bia_s 5y agoAgree. Saying "I dont know" at school is persecuted. And here we are. Everybody have opinions on everything and it is hard to hear "I don't know." in public space. Imagine that politicans would say that they don't know anything. A lot of people think that they know everything, but only few really know something.
