My name is Scott Hertting . I teach General Chemistry, Principles of Technology and some Physical Science at Neenah High School in Neenah, Wisconsin. The goal of this site is to provide other secondary science teachers with ideas that use toys to teach science concepts. It is my belief that using toys is one way a science educator can make this connection happen for the student.
Toys also serve to connect the classroom with the world outside it.
The toy related ideas fall into two different curricular areas. One of the areas has ideas that use toys to teach chemistry, the other area has ideas that use toys to teach physics. The links to these areas are found lower on this page. An additional goal of this site is to promote the sharing of ideas that use toys to teach secondary science. Your name and the name of your school.
