"An activity is not a lesson" (Koch, 286)

Learning about science can be fun. Doing science is even better. When we do science with our students, we need to keep in mind, as Janice reminds us, "An activity is not a lesson." There must be a purpose; something to be learned. When we plan a science activity, or any activity, we need to think about what we want our students to learn and how that correlates with the activity at hand.
