Students see that my love for learning about and doing science is authentic. While 15 and 18 year olds react to my nerdiness in different ways, they all seem to appreciate that I'm not pandering or condescending to them.

It is easy to see your enthusiasm and excitement about science, and I'm sure your students are swept up in that excitement too. <br /><br />Because you teach multiple grade levels, how do you adjust your portrayal of science for those different grades? I assume a 9th grader's willingness to jump into science is very different from a 12th grader's. Do you modify your "true fan's perspective" of science for those different grade levels?jlassarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884486864358537017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088860151651047897.post-43401982880472804112015-08-25T08:50:14.658-04:002015-08-25T08:50:14.658-04:00Thanks, James!
