Science is a metaphor, a simile

Submitted by Judith Lucas-Odom on Wed, 07/23/2008 - 2:16pm.
What science is ..... a simile.... a metaphor.... a picture.... a word, this means a lot to me because it helps me explore and make visual pictures. My students also think sometimes in pictures and the word analogies are wonderful ways to active and create new impressions that they might struggle with, if they had to write about them. These ideas can be stored in the unconscious and bought back when they need to apply it in their learning. I enjoyed how everything was bridged together and came full circle.
