Misconceptions
This article really hit home for me. As a learner that learns best when experiencing and manipulating knowledge, theoretically science should be my favorite subject. However, I believe terms were forced into my brain that I did not understand but somehow passed science so I must have been good enough to get by. With many of my teachers through elementary schools, I never understood why things were and a lot of the time it was just because they were that way. I believe labs are a GREAT tool to use when teaching science and will be beneficial to aid to students' knowledge. With being able to manipulate objects and using notebooks, all students can learn because it applies to many learner types.

How do we stop these misconceptions? Why do they happen? How can you prevent them? Why or how do labs benefit students? Didn't you have these experiences but they didn't stick. Your reflection is pretty straight forward - I'm looking for a deeper line of thinking and questioning.
