This teacher is ingeniously teaching the elements while making the students easily recall them, thanks to a Lady Gaga song. Whether the teacher is a fan of the singer or the song was simply used for convenience’s sake, this is a lesson that deserves an award.
Imagine students singing the elements in their heads using a Lady Gaga song, thus making memorization easy-peasy. Plus, it is enough to give you a smile or two. This is what creative teaching is. Kudos to the chemistry teacher, indeed! We had no idea that Lady Gaga was writing songs to remind us of the periodic table.
The Syllabus Is Life
This teacher is probably sick and tired of having to field questions from students who prefer not to read the syllabus. No longer interested to respond to something they should already know, this professor had a shirt specially made for times like this. After all, he probably has to give that answer many times throughout the day.
This shirt saves both the teacher and the student essential time and energy for asking and answering questions. All the professor needs to do is show the shirt, and voila! Nothing stops a student’s questions more than a shirt saying, “It’s in the syllabus.”
Naughty Teacher
This teacher is doing what most naughty students are caught doing. Probably annoyed that a student was sleeping in his class, this teacher hunkered down to tie this poor student’s shoelaces. There are many reasons why a student may be sleeping. He could be tired from having to do a part-time job or he may have family problems, or the class might be a tad boring.
The teacher could have exerted the effort to at least ask the student first instead of punishing him immediately by tying his shoelaces and then expecting him to fall on his face once he wakes up and stands. Tsk, tsk, bad teacher.
Meme Teacher
This is another creative way to teach lessons to students while using their favorite internet memes. Instead of simply describing the proper ways of doing a scientific experiment and the scientific process, this teacher incorporated popular memes to help students remember.
Also, it is an ingenious way to actually learn while being entertained all at the same time. It is easy retention, easy to understand, and easily funny all at once. Kudos to the teacher for his or her effort! When it comes to teaching, you need to keep up with the latest trends to keep students engaged - and this certainly is a great way of doing just that.
Best Answer/Question Ever
Science is a subject that requires constant experimentation, constant questioning, and constant doubt. Nothing should be taken at face value. So when this teacher put a test item asking students to impress him, he got the best response from the class.
This student, appropriately using scientific inquiry in answering the teacher’s test question, aptly asked: “Why?” – as he or she should. The teacher, thankful that the student applied proper scientific inquiry and doubt, gave the student additional points – as he or she should. And you know what's ironic about the whole thing? The answer ultimately did impress the teacher, bringing the entire question full circle.
