I really enjoyed this week's scientific inquiry into light and shadow. In my experience, this science work is unlike the science classes I took from K-14. Generally, my science classes focused more on memorization than exploration. In my elementary science class, I remember memorizing science concepts, looking up words in the glossary, writing reports, and reading and answering questions in the book.
