“Teaching Science with Humor: Mrs. Parks’ Unconventional Lesson
Mrs. Parks, a sixth-grade science teacher, used an unconventional question to teach her students about the human body. ‘Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?’ she asked, sparking confusion and curiosity among her students.
The question was a clever way to introduce the concept of how the pupil of the eye adjusts to light. But it also led to some humorous moments, as one student, Mary, misinterpreted the question and thought it was inappropriate.
Mrs. Parks handled the situation with patience and humor, eventually praising a shy student named Billy for his correct answer. The lesson was a great example of how humor can be used to engage students and make learning more enjoyable.”
