For many students, science is simply a subject that is tolerated as it is a requirement in school. The curriculum can be difficult and dry but with the average person being increasingly faced with matters of science in everyday life, science education is more important than ever. Students need to be equipped with the scientific skills necessary to develop informed opinions on important science related matters. Teachers can often get students more involved in subjects like science by incorporating hands on activities that engage them. There are many resources available to teachers looking for hands on science activities for students of all ages.
