Science Education Philosophy

"I have always felt that Science is a subject that is best learned through 
experiences and "doing" science as opposed to just reading about it in a 
textbook.  This year we will use textbooks as a supplementary resource in 
the classroom.  Most class periods will start with a journal question that 
will lead us into a science investigation.  Therefore, each student is 
required to keep a 1" three ring binder science journal containing all 
relevant questions with answers, notes, activities, labs, and data.  Some 
activities will be written up in a prescribed format and will count as major 
test grades.  To make this kind of learning possible, I must have dedication 
and the willingness to participate from each class member."
