Why 'The Independent Variable'? As a Science teacher, one thing we teach our students is that in an experiment, you should always have an independent variable - this is the thing that we change in an experiment. In coming up with a name for my blog, I wanted something that was going to tie in with my love of Science as well as my passion for instigating change within the Science curriculum... and from that the name was born!
We teach our students that there should only be one independent variable in an experiment for it to be a fair test. I believe that if we, as teachers, can try to change one thing about our teaching we are making the move towards overall change and creating a better education system for all.
This blog and the associated 'Resources' page will be a place for me to share the things that I am working towards 'changing' in my teaching. I look forward to having you join me in my journey of change.
