Do things that you've seen past teachers do to make your lessons interesting, put a lot of energy and creativity into it and I am sure your students will enjoy it!
(I know there are several interactive websites like Kahoot out there for your students to interact with the lesson digitally on a technology standpoint as well. I put the link below if you'd like to check it out.) Hope that helps!

Doing hands-on projects like making slime, rockets, or growing your own butterflies can keep your future students interested in your lesson!]]> 2018-04-17 19:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/252760662 feliciam_lane20 https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/252802602 Hands-on is always the best way to go, especially since you want to teach science! Science has a ton of interactive simulations online and also easy experiments to let your students do to learn on their own.

This is a great question and is similar to my own; however, I feel that the best way to make a class fun is by knowing your students learning style. Once you understand how they learn best, you can make learning fun and also feasible for them. Make experaments, have students get up and move around, maybe even take students outside on a sunny day for an experament and incorporate the lesson into the real world. I have a feeling your classroom will be very fun one day. ]]> 2018-04-18 03:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/252840424 walkerreagan34 https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/253145524 There are tons of ways to keep the lessons interesting for the student's so they are not just sitting there. This class has given us many resources to use that will keep students involved. My personal favorites are Powtoon and Edmodo. You, as a teacher, need to be interested in what you are teaching. If you are bored and out of it, then the students will be bored and out of it. ]]> 2018-04-18 18:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/253145524 sierra_sne10798 https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/253151108 One thing you can do is make interactive study sets on quizlet so students can play, learn, and not just sit through your class.

An example of this would be watching a video, using hands on learning (if possible), using a lecture, using learning games, and using online study guides.

Technology is a great tool to make learning fun and interesting. For example, you can allow your students to create Powerpoints, Powtoons, videos, etc. Most students are hands on learners therefore allowing them to create what they are learning can make things fun!]]> 2018-04-18 18:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/253162890 katie123wilkins https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/253179818 I think the best thing to do is keep it interesting, and have fun with your lessons. You can also always do assessments that are super easy and fun to the students such as class games. I think this will keep your students interested so they soak up all the information you teach like little unique sponges. ]]> 2018-04-18 19:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alexbeach23/39zx5h3qlmdd/wish/253179818
