Chapter nine was another informative chapter in this text. I feel that it is extremely important that educators incorporate many subjects together when teaching. In the real world, individuals are not faced with tasks or problems from a single category, the task usually encompasses a variety of subjects so students should be prepared for this. Many disciplines work well together, such as math and science. Many math skills are used in investigative science, such as measuring, organizing data, and interpreting patterns and relationships. Writing and reading are also other subjects that can easily be incorporated in to science, because many times students read directions and then record results and findings. Social studies is another subject that is also equally fun to pair with science. Students may grasp and retain more ideas and concepts when the two are together. Weather, natural phenomena, and the environment are all great linkable topics. Also for reasons such as time constraint in the classroom, sometimes teachers either shorten a lesson or may be forced to drop it all together. By intertwining and relating subjects, students still gain the importance of the lesson, but also can relate it to other ideas and concepts outside the specified lesson.
