SUFB 242: Scientists Inspiring Students With Patrick Goff
I talk to Patrick Goff, a grade 8 science teacher, who is inspiring his students through web talks with actual scientists.
Science education can be tough if teachers rely only on themselves and textbooks. It can be really boring for 13 year-olds to get inspired by science and picture themselves as future scientists of the world. Don't worry, there is a solution.
Patrick Goff goes above and beyond the textbook to bring his class real scientists to his students via webcam. I invited Patrick on the podcast to tell us how he does it so other teachers can do the same thing.
Enjoy the podcast!
