Better than Worksheets

04/18/2017

Caretaking is the utmost spiritual and physical responsibility of our time, and perhaps that stewardship is finally our place in the web of life, our work, the solution to the mystery that we are.
Linda Hogan, Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World

In her book, Hands-On Science and Math: Fun, Fascinating Activities for Young Children, Beth R. Davis writes: "In my research, published by Florida International University (in a book edited by Jill Farrell and Robert Vos), I found that children exposed to hands-on science instruction gain greater subject-matter understanding than students exposed to only book learning or traditional worksheets. When I doubled the amount of hands-on instruction given to the lowest-performing student population in an at-risk class at a Florida elementary school, these children showed the highest gains when compared with ten other classes made up of average and above-average students in the same elementary school."
