teaching science in elementary school. All too often, no, make that almost always, "science" is taught as a bunch of dry, boring facts to be memorized.

Actually, most elementary level science teaching is a variety of lab experiments and usually very exciting to young students compared to say math or spelling which is taught as a bunch of dry, boring facts to be memorized.

But they aren't experiments at all. There's a right answer.

They're demos, and the kids who look up what they'respposed to get as a result do better than bumblefingered honest ones.
