Program helps Gore students learn about life cycles Teacher: I think they’ll be more interested in science By Cathy SpauldingPhoenix Staff Writer “Life has lots of different stories,” she said. “What are these different stages called?”
Children yelled out “learning,” or “changing,” though the answer she sought was “life cycles.” Second grade teacher Jennifer Tootle said she sees her students learning about more than life cycles during the educators’ visit. “I think they’ll be more interested in science and in becoming scientists,” Tootle said. The ExplorOlogy visit came as a result of a visit Gore kindergarten teachers Angie Carter and Suzanne Caudle made to the museum’s Science Institute 2008. They were among 25 teachers who spent a week at the Norman museum to learn how to include more inquiry-based science in their classrooms. “I learned ho to help kids do hands-on activities, help them learn how animals move from babies to adults,” Caudle said. “My children really enjoyed getting to see real specimens of animals,” Carter said. Caudle said Gore students also will get a field trip to the museum.
