"3 Rules to Spark Learning"

As teachers, it is vital that we follow Ramsey Musallam's  three rules to spark learning: spark curiosity in students, embrace the trial and error process, and reflect on what you have done and learned. If we continue to simply stand in front of our students and feed them this "scripted" information that is sometimes forced on us, learning will cease. Kids today need to be pushed to their limits- and in order to do so, we must make them WANT to learn. We need to inspire them to ask questions and foster their curiosity about new things.

When it comes to Chemistry, Mr. Musallam does his absolute best every single day to make learning fun and desirable in his classroom. Instead of lecturing to them for the whole class period, he shows them all of the "cool" things that are a part of Chemistry. It might be a simple experiment, but it still beats sitting in your seat listening to someone ramble on about things that you don't understand. Sometimes seeing something puts all the missing pieces together. When they seem something that they don't understand, it is natural to be curious about how it works and why. This is what learning is all about today!
