Now this is assessment.

How do you know when science has happened? Ask Doyle.
“A child muttered in class this week that she keeps knowing less than she thought she knew.
Success.”
The dismantling, disintegrating, demolishing, disassembling, trashing, throwing away, rooting out of misconceptions is hard work for teachers and students.
Seeing things that did not exist moments before is why I got into science in the first place.

Hey, I stumbled on your blog after reading your comment on Doyle’s. I’m a history and technology geek with a penchant for long-winded stories and poetry. So, I’m naturally skeptical of science blogs. Yet, I’ve read some of your posts and I just thought I’d let you know that I enjoy what you are writing. Press on.
Hi John,
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. Its nice to know that someone connects with what I am thinking.

This post made me smile! It does seem the more we learn the more we realize how little we know, and helping students see this is an interesting challenge in school.
