My least favorite is classification because the kids find it boring no matter what i do.

Becca

8/13/2017 05:53:37 pm

Hi Michelle! I totally agree with you, classification can be a drag. Here is one activity I've done that helps spice it up a bit: http://teachingsciencerocks.weebly.com/blog/what-do-i-do-with-these-preserved-specimens

I think my least favorite topic to teach is usually the history behind the atom. Its nice to know the scientist but students get the names and experiments confused.

I like visiting blogs that I did not know exitsted

Love following you on instagram (thats where I'm mostly at) and love your pictures of rocks!

Thanks Tiffany!

my LEAST favorite topic to teach is Protein Synthesis because the kiddos in 8th grade have such a hard time grasping the concept. If I win I'm going to download your tpt info on protein synthesis it looks like fun!

Sandy

My least favorite topic is chemical and physical changes

Hilary Campbell

Cell respiration! Ugh...only because getting the kids to understand the complexity of the reactions - they just get lost.

8/13/2017 05:56:18 pm

I 100% agree with you! Photosynthesis and respiration are my least favorite as well. I made these flip books that might help. I find them to be a "happy medium" between the basics of just teaching the equation and complexity of all the steps. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cellular-Respiration-Flip-Book-3088498

I do not like teaching space and earth science as much as other subjects.

Nicole Ciccarelli

Teaching middle school students about the human reproduction process and organs is a trip! The questions that I get are WOW!!!

April Perreault

Least favorite to teach would be the rock cycle.... ugh!

Kate

8/8/2017 08:42:05 pm

My least favorite topic is metrics - students always have such a hard time with it.

8/13/2017 05:52:38 pm

Hi Kate! I recently made this puzzle- maybe you will find it of use :) https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Metric-System-Puzzle-3217893

Olga

Least favorite topic - anything space related. Difficult to find hands on.
I thought summer was supposed to be a holiday. You made us work 😊. I appreciate though the opportunity to learn about new blogs.

Rebecca Henry

My least favorite topic to teach is genetics. I love life science, but mostly microbiology and human anatomy/physiology.

Erica Praga link

I don't really have a least favorite- I have taught all sciences but physics. There is something awesome about all of them!

Christina Agurcia

8/10/2017 07:44:51 pm

I love learning from fellow science teachers, specifically about my "least favorite" earth science, which I need the most help in. Thanks!

Pamela Stephens

I love learning about new TpT creators!

Andrew

8/10/2017 09:59:06 pm

My least favorite topic to teach is cells. I find it difficult teaching all the different organelles!!

8/13/2017 05:49:28 pm

I feel your pain Andrew. It's not only hard to teach them all but students struggle with understanding how they work together. I created this lesson and it has helped my students a lot- check it out! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cell-Organelle-Puzzle-Pieces-2280631

Elizabeth

I struggle with balancing equations every year!

Lindsay

8/11/2017 07:49:21 am

I think my least favourite is just the general Scientific method, lab safety, etc first couple of days because I find it so boring!

8/13/2017 05:48:04 pm

Hi Lindsay! Check out this blog post on the first weed of school- hopefully it gives you a few ideas! http://teachingsciencerocks.weebly.com/blog/june-26th-2017
