You are listening to episode 32 of the ready, set, science podcast. On today’s show, we are talking all about the 5E model and how to use it in your science classroom. The 5E method of learning is a pedagogical framework commonly used in science education to engage students in the learning process through a series of phases that encourage active participation and critical thinking. The 5E model stands for Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. Each of these phases represents a key step in the learning process and is designed to help students build a deep understanding of scientific concepts.   SHOW NOTES All the links: Check out the website www.mrsbadessoteaches.com Follow on social:  Instagram: @MrsBadessoTeaches Facebook: MrsBadessoTeaches Sign up for our email list here: https://forms.gle/yb2imYRH3zC4PdXh7 The links may be affiliate links.

You are listening to episode #22 and today we will be diving into the importance of citizen science! Imagine a world where anyone, regardless of their background or expertise, can contribute to scientific research. This is the vision of citizen science, a movement that has been gaining momentum in recent years. Citizen science involves ordinary people, often referred to as "citizen scientists," participating in scientific projects and research initiatives. It is a powerful tool that not only advances our understanding of the natural world but also fosters a sense of community, engagement, and environmental stewardship. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of citizen science, its benefits, and how it is shaping the future of scientific discovery.
