| Abstract: |
This paper will show how science can be taught in an interesting and effective way to all learners if it is presented in a way that is multimodal and relevant, similar to the educational practices of science museums and aquaria. Teaching science through observation and experimentation is the key to making science curricula more effective and interesting for learners. Every student learns in a different style but instead of trying to reach every student in his or her own special way, educators need to devise other methods for motivation. Science museums and similar institutions have researched how to create exhibits that are attractive and interesting to all learners. Formal education settings, such as the local public school, can use informal learning settings such as science museums, aquaria and the internet resources. Incorporating informal learning methods into a formal learning setting produces more effective science learning. |
