Contribution to Developing Scientific Literacy
I began graduate studies to learn to how to enhance and improve experiences and opportunities for children and the general public to become scientifically literate. Since completing my studies, I have engaged in a number of projects that reflect different approaches I use to work toward this goal. The following list describes some of these different projects.
- A new project I have begun is a blog with pictures and short text. The blog attempts to stimulate curiosity and thinking about phenomena in everyday events that can be explained using scientific reasoning. The blog is called Science Everyday. Please check it out and make comments. Teachers, I would love to know if you use this blog in your classrooms. Send me an e-mail at: menfield@elon.edu and tell me what you did ad how it went.
