"You can be taken by surprise even in areas with which you are familiar. It is the surprises that hold the potential for furtherlearning." * Eleanor Duckworth How does this relate to teaching science?
This relates to teaching science in many ways. The surprise can be a new discovery something that was not found yet. The surprise could be lead to other discoveries. When doing an experiment the surprise can be a new discovery like a new substance. Surprises that are new can encourage students to want to study more and try to find new discoveries with that experiment. It could also encourage students to take an interest in that type of science and want to learn more about science or more about the experiment that the students just did. Surprises in science can lead to a cure for cancer or a new treatment that can give someone with cancer a better chance to survive longer and cancer free.
Surprises can relate to teaching science in a few ways.Teaching science can be a surprise if your hypothesis does not work to the result you are getting it can be a surprise to work to maybe someone's hypothesis. Teaching science is important. Students need to draw their own conclusions and by doing so the students are figuring out the surprises in science.
It is always important to use the students prior knowledge to help with experiments but you can still be surprised by science. If you put too much of a liquid or doing something different to the experiment you can be surprised by the results. If students don't follow directions then the students may get different results and that can be a surprise. Surprises can be a good and bad thing in science.
