For many years, I've asked students in my intro classes to complete the following sentences on a notecard. The results have always been fascinating. 1) Astronomy is... 2) Astrology is... 3) Math is... 4) Science is... This year I used @Mentimeter so I could share with y'all 1/20

We have to dispel the myth that people are either good at math/logic or more creative. This is not how our brains work. We are ALL capable of developing both sets of skills. Challenge these self-limiting beliefs before they become self-fulfilling!
