Question about Science engagement?

I've completely given up on this approach and switched to project-based learning instead.

It really depends on the grade level, but generally I find strict boundaries help.

I totally agree with this! In my classroom, we always start with a mini-lesson.

Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and realize it's just one day. Tomorrow will be better!

I recommend checking out some YouTube tutorials on this topic, there are great educators sharing tips.
