Creative Activities for the Sciences |

Grade: |
Pre-K,K,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 |

Description: |
Probably the most important aspect of teaching for creative growth is raising students' creativity consciousness. That is, students must:
1. Become more aware of creativity in general
2. Value flexible and original thinking
3. Become more receptive to creative (even wild) ideas
4. Become willing to think in a creative fashion
5. Become willing to involve themselves in creative activities
The most important aspect of becoming more creative - acquiring a creative consciousness - is also the easiest to teach. Creative attitudes and predispositions will be a natural by-product of virtually any classroom effort to teach for creative thinking, particularly if there is an emphasis on raising awareness and improving student's understanding of creative thinking. ... |
