Teaching Girls Science

Fewer girls in science can be largely tied to the lack of creativity, social interaction, and content that does not relate to every day life.  These issues are prevelant in traditional instruction; however I would not limit these issues to girls only.  I think this is similar to taking the science content to the concrete to benefit all students.  Some of the students may not need to be creative or have social interaction; but these activities are not detrimental to learning.  Relating how science content can apply to our daily life and how we can use science content in our life benefits everyone.  I would argue that if you are not including these activities in your classroom discussion (and this applies to more than just science) then you are not truly trying to make the learning experience as benefitial and as valuable as it can be.
