I was disappointed to not get a response from Ask a Scientist. I submitted several questions hoping one of them would be answered, so that I can share it with my class as well as my colleagues. In my classroom, we were beginning the unit on Life Science and I would like to explain to them how scientists know the function of each organelle. What type of microscope did they use to track organelle movement? What magnification?
Since my experience was not successful at this point, I’m not sure if I would use it in the classroom, because I always explain to my students the purpose of every assignment. I guess we could hope for the best and submit questions in the beginning of the year and hope some get answered. If I found that scientists did respond to at least half of the questions I would continue to use it when I cannot answer a science question.
