I was recently reading the September/October 2022 issue of \u201cScience & Children\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the Editor\u2019s Note column, written by Elizabeth Barrett-Zahn.\xa0\xa0She wrote a column entitled, \u201cJoyful Science.\u201d\xa0\xa0

Remember to plan lessons, follow the curriculum, and cover the content, but don\u2019t forget that essential element in the planning \u2014 the students.\xa0\xa0Create space and time for them to find the joys in learning by figuring things out, debating, assessing data, developing arguments, and solving problems.\xa0\xa0Let\u2019s find ways to make learning joyful.\xa0
