About

Sometimes other people say things, scientists, like that the dinosaurs died because the meteor hit and they say that it was a volcano and they argue about things. I like the unit because it teaches me more about how to do the same kind of arguing. Using evidence and reasoning to back up my claims.

There's no going back. It's changed the way I have taught throughout the day, it just makes me a better teacher. The kids just get so much more excited about it… My administrators … can tell I am more excited about my job in general.  The units are so relatable; it's empowering for me as a teacher.

Science is when we learn the most, more than other times because we want to learn about the animals we don't know a lot about

ML-PBL just did not affect my science teaching, it affected all my teaching... As a teacher you’re making students think about the world around them... I guess it’s basically ... opened up the way I teach, and this gives me a lot more freedom.

I also helped the group... And I can help the other kids learn. When I am quiet, other people can listen too, and when I do talk they hear me and they look at me instead of watching the teacher.

After one year with ML-PBL, I feel like a science teacher again!

It was yeah, science is great! I like thinking about these things and then sharing them with this group. I am really interested in science because of doing the things, like a valley with a river and then a pond.

I would be proud to have somebody come in to see how I teach now.
