7 Teacher-Recommended Ways to Keep Kids Motivated While Virtually Learning

"Keep things relevant. There are lots of food and cleaning supplies at home you can connect to their more scientific names. For example, salt is really sodium chloride, Drano is sodium hydroxide. You can also test the pH of these products with cheap home kits and do many safe at-home demos and projects. To get students to focus, use subtle reminders — like a tap on the table, hand gesture, or call-response — to bring them back to their work." — Nina Meltzer, 10th-12th grade
