How does one make the teaching of science online more tangible, interactive, and above all, fun? One idea is to make a foldable globe.
There are plenty of templates that can be found on the Internet. Simply download one, print it out, cut it out carefully, and start folding, also carefully.
Some students may lack the Internet access, proper printers, proper papers, or the dexterity to cut it out properly. Depending on the age and skills of the students, one can ask them to do more, or less themselves.
But the students must be asked to fold it and glue it together themselves. That is the part which gives them the most satisfaction and learning, seeing the product of their own effort. I know how it feels when it is done.
Then it can be used to discuss geography, culture, history, transportation, politics, and a lot more.
Online teaching does not have to be just one way lecturing.
