Abstract | One of the major challenges of teaching science has been engaging students in discussions of concepts due to lack of perceived relevancy of topics to students' individual goals and societal issues. Science has been viewed as a set of abstract topics disconnected from the real world. To increase student motivation, self-efficacy, and interest in pursuing a degree in STEM fields, educators highlight the role of science in explaining environmental issues and generating potential solutions. One of our previous studies investigated the effect of learning about phosphate sustainability on general chemistry students' perceptions of science relevancy. The positive outcomes encouraged our group to develop several comprehensive Prezi modules to introduce the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in science classes and reveal their connections to the topics taught in schools. The overall objectives of this project are to suggest an effective and meaningful method to make science relevant to students, enhance their sustainability awareness, and encourage them to take actions to help the global community achieve the SDGs. In this article, we explain the contents and structures of the presentations and discuss their potential uses in science classrooms to improve students' curiosity and engagement. (As Provided). |
