Students as Teachers

The Science Teacher—April 2000

As an extra credit activity, teachers can let students take turns teaching class using the “each one teach one” approach. Student groups select an activity, write a lesson plan, create a worksheet, and then present their inquiry-based activity. This article describes how presenting demonstrations to peers, elementary students, and teachers helped high school students learn science content more effectively. Although students do not receive a grade or extra credit points; they are learning because it is something they value.
