There are a myriad of sciences practiced in today’s world, such as Biology, Astronomy, Earth Science, etc. I have always enjoyed science class through elementary school and even throughout high school and college. My present attitude towards science is overall positive and I enjoy learning new things about the world and asking questions. This subject has always been easy for me and I did not have to work as hard as I did compared to other subjects. Although, science in general is enjoyable for me, I do not enjoy physics and biology as much, but My first memories of science include archeology and astronomy. I can remember watching Jurassic Park with my big brother and being fascinated by the people digging up dinosaur bones. As I continually …show more content…

I would rate myself at a seven out of ten for students in fourth grade and under. I am most excited to teach astronomy, archeology, and botany to my students. This is because I feel most confident explaining why and how plants grow, compared to explaining static electricity. I believe my ability to effectively teach science greatly depended on how subjects were taught to me in school. For example, as a young child, my brother who was intrigued by several areas of science introduced me to astronomy and dinosaurs. Therefore, I observed someone else’s curiosity and most likely wanted to imitate my brother. My parents provided several experiences for me to further explore these areas of science. This also created a personal connection for me because I associate science with fun family experiences, such as trips, playing pretend, and hands-on activities. As I grew older, I had background knowledge and curiosity to learn more about these topics. Whereas, topics I was introduced to for the first time during school, I seemed to struggle with them more. I believe this is because I did not find the enthusiasm and personal connection as I did with subjects before school. This also relates to my poor experience in sixth grade when I did not feel comfortable to ask questions in class and I could not relate to levers and pulleys in a personal way. This most likely affected the lack of interest I now have in

-Students’ motivation and meaningful learning in primary science and technology According to Brady (2008), young children usually show an innate attraction towards science and technology. As teachers, we should take advantage of that innate attitude and develop age-appropriate experiences in order to make science come alive in unique and meaningful ways for children. However, the latest science literary NAP report conducted by the NSW Education Standards Authority (2015) reflects that even though most students show interest in learning new aspects of science, many of them do not relate science to their daily lives. In other words, they are not able to assess information accurately when making decisions in the real word.

Science plays a major role in improving the quality of life of people around the world. A present day example of this is the use of genetically modified mosquitoes in order to combat the zika virus and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. If these efforts are successful it can mean a significant reduction in the amount of people who contract these harmful diseases. This is especially important in places where people may not be able to afford treatment if they were to contract one of these diseases. To be able to help so many people through scientific research is what I find compelling about the field of science.

In the modern world today, children in the early years are known to commonly acquire a fundamental awareness and an intense desire to discover which allows them the opportunity to learn out about the composition and processes of science well. The mental outlook of interest, openness and appreciation for deposition can be developed through science education since children’s emotional disposition towards knowledge, and their reactions to natural phenomena can act as the offset mark. With that said, it allows them to understand the world around them and construct justification to their questions by using their physical and cognitive skills (Jones, Lake & Lin, 2008). Therefore, the Department of Education (DfE) (2017) acknowledge this significance by placing ‘understanding of the world’ at the core of
