My externship provided me with many opportunities for growth this summer. I think my biggest AHA! moment and take away from the summer is the excitement and wonder that should be associated with teaching and learning science. I learned through several opportunities at the museum to let my students wonder and explore the world around them to bring that excitement back. I am very excited to see if allowing students more time to wonder and explore if they will have more interested and better grades in science class. I hope that more enjoyment will mean harder work and better grades for most of my students. And on a larger scale I hope I can excite a life long interest in science.
