This always happens... in elementary school the students do one "amazing" science project (that really isn't science) and everything is fun and dandy. Then they come to middle school science where we need to build a foundation (like read science and write) then experiment and they are always disappointed. How to I get them to buy in?

The material is Science, the length is not rigorous. Biomes are definitely science. So are volcanos. However, it is how they learn them for them to be relevant or not.

Start with a question and/or a phenomena that needs investigation. Ask the kids how they think they should figure out how and why this happens.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks
