It’s very difficult to keep student’s attention and have them retain the information that
you are teaching. This article talks about how students don’t want to learn science or find it interesting because it doesn’t always make sense in their real lives. It seems like memorization instead of learning the information. The article talks about how one teacher decided to use video games as her method of teaching science. She had the students in her class play the video game and come in for a quiz. They did not know what the quiz was over and were not prompted to study. The students made a polymer from the knowledge that they obtained by playing the video game. The students were able to do it if they took the game seriously and played to the level that was required for the class. The article did mention that some people were just not very good at video games and did not learn the information in this fashion, but the others did a good job retaining and recalling the information.
