How Stuff Works

How Stuff Works is a website with relevance. The name itself clearly depicts what this website entail. This is a website where educators can be prepared for students who are always asking "How does that work?" When I was in high school, I remember always asking my teachers to explain theories, concepts, or even formula's. I wanted to know how these "things" we relevant to my life. Why did I need to know about different issues in my environment? Are we as educators able to thoroughly explain to our students how the oil spill effects their health? Or even the simple questions such as how does fireworks work? Sometimes students or even our very own children will ask random questions such as "What will happen if I get locked up in a walk in freezer?" We need to try as much as possible to be on point with questions such as these that might confront us in our home as well as in our profession.
For this reason, How Stuff Works, is very beneficial to any educator. By frequent visits on this site, teachers can feel more confident to answer random, and/ or challenging questions. We must push our students to think out of the box. But when they do, we better have a good answer!

Cody's Science Education Zone

Unity within the educational community serves as one of the main methods for teachers to know that individually, as well as collectively, they matter. Often times teachers all over the U.S have many complaints. Until these complaints are shared, we then realize how much educators have in common. The concerns, frustrations, and ideas to enhance the school systems are all indicators of what unites teachers in America today. I found an oasis for teachers. A website where teachers can read current information on educational issues as well as ideas on how we can better our curriculums is right at our finger tips. Cody's Science Education Zone is a wonderful website that teachers all over America can place lesson plans to inspire other teachers. This is an ideal step on how educator can encourage other educators to be BETTER educators. Someone said to me that "the best educators or teachers is the ones that never cease to learn" Not only can we or should we learn from our students, but teachers should count it a very good deal to learn from each other.

Cody's Science Education Zone is catered for science as well as math teachers. Something that stood out from this website was the tab that directed you to a HUMOR dictionary. This dictionary took my mind to the most common well known science contributors and added humor to their work. Sometimes it's good to find joy and humor in even the most solemn concepts and formulas. Hope you all enjoy this website.
