I was recently reading the May 20, 2026, blog from the National Science Teaching Association.

The blog was entitled, "Teaching Students to Think in Science: Where Curiosity Meets Cognitive Strategy" written by Kristen Barnes.

Science instruction leans heavily on synchronous learning, individual work, note-taking and getting the 'right answer." However, the true goal of science education isn't completion. Science education should focus on cultivating the lifelong journey of curiosity.
