CHAPTER 9: Connecting Science with Other Subjects

Chapter Reflections


Chapter 9 gives great information into how to integrate other subjects into science. The theme and theory of this chapter is the integration of subjects into science. Measuring, counting, recording, writing down what happens, and diagramming graphs and charts are all ways to record science inquiry. However, this practical approach also helps with the conception of mathematics, reading, writing, and technology. Science and math are especially connected. Finding patterns and relationships are all ways to concept these two subjects. The environment and science is also linked, this can also lead into the integration of social studies. So, in general what this chapter is stating is that; as future teachers, we can incorporate many different subjects into science. This will help further the conceptual understanding of all subjects and create more practice and learning.
I think this chapter gives great insight into how to incorporate many different subjects into scientific inquiry. One teacher can cover many ranges of different topics. Measurement and charting can be incorporated into math. This can also lead to technology use and many more curriculum topics. This chapter was very clear into how one can integrate other subjects and how science already does incorporate many of these subjects. I have no questions for this chapter at this time it was clear and insightful.
