Spring is in the air—and let’s be honest, your teen probably has one foot out the science door already. Between warmer weather, longer days, and summer on the horizon, it’s no surprise that motivation is slipping. But what if this season could spark curiosity instead of burnout?

In this episode of Teaching High School Science, I’m sharing three practical, engaging strategies to keep your teen focused and excited about learning science—even when they'd rather be anywhere else. You’ll learn how to:

• Incorporate hands-on learning with choice (based on your teen’s unique interests),
• Make real-world connections that bring science to life, and
• Break down complex topics into manageable goals to build confidence and momentum.

Whether your teen is into anime, gaming, or gardening, I’ve got creative activity ideas for chemistry, biology, and physics that make learning feel personal and fun. Plus, I’ll show you how to turn everyday outings (yes, even amusement parks!) into science-rich learning opportunities.

✨ This episode is packed with straightforward strategies to help you support your teen through the toughest part of the school year—without the burnout.
