Do your students sometimes draw the tiniest little science diagrams? Do they skip the labels? Do some forget to describe their observations and measurements? Ever had one color a turtle purple? (Let’s hope it’s not actually purple!) Mine did too! So, I taught them the ABCD of Scientific Illustrations. A is for accurate. Drawings should be realistic.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
