I was recently reading the May - June 2025 issue of "Science and Children", a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read the section, "Editor's Note" written by Elizabeth Barret-Zahn. She wrote an article entitled, "'Prioritizing Play."

We can't turn every lesson into an open-ended discovery session. But where can discovery, creativity and fun be sprinkled in? With a subtle mindset change, we can make learning feel less like work and more like play.
