"Water Bottle Rockets" eBook Excerpt

"Water Bottle Rockets" eBook Excerpt
, Grade 6, 7, 8, Activities, Experiments

This is an excerpt that comes from the eBook titled “Middle Schoolin: 50 Stories about the Challenges, Humor, and Rewards of Teaching” written by Paul Rallion. This is from Chapter 33 titled Water Bottle Rockets. In science class, it is important to incorporate hands-on activities because students learn better by doing, according to John Dewey, considered by many the father of modern education. I remember when I was in second grade and my teacher talked about erosion. We went on a field trip to see an arid field with poor or no irrigation, and I was able to see what erosion was and what a field looked like when it occurred. I am sure it would have taken longer for me to learn what erosion was without that field trip. Now I found myself teaching Newton’s laws of motion. These three laws deal with how objects behave at rest and in motion. They are difficult concepts for some students to absorb at the middle school level. Doing this experiment helped my students grab the concept of Newton’s laws of motion better than if I had just talked about them. Students enjoy a hands-on experiment more than a lecture or reading a book. The bottom line is, if you teach science, do hands-on activities and experiments whenever possible. I hope you enjoy!
