"Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stone is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science" - Jules Henri Poincare. How applicable this quote appears to be with my mixed ability science students. From my observations, this can be likened to dumping a bunch of science vocabulary and facts (stones)in hopes of a house coming out of them. Which in reality, looks far from a house but instead just a pile of stones. I teach science to grades 3-5 in the state of Texas where everything is bigger, especially when it comes to my students' hearts. My enthusiastic explorers enter their classroom eagerly and cheerfully everyday, in spite of any challenging disabilities
