I've always found that one of the biggest challenges a science teacher faces is getting students to see that science is something that directly affects their lives. The image that many high school students have of 'SCIENCE' is that of a bunch of old, grey-haired men in lab coats performing boring experiments. To get students more interested in their lessons, it's important to show them that science is fun and interesting, and its effects can be seen all around them. The video I link to in this post is kind of silly, but it also has an important message: science can be done anywhere, and if students keep an open mind to it they can be surprised at how cool it can be.
