The Portland problem solvers took a new approach to learning and understanding science.By taking a hands on approach to such an intense subject like science, it gives the students a better opportunity to truly grasp the given information. It allows the students to see exactly how things like electrons work. As a history education major, it does not seem difficult to create such a hands on lesson for events such as the Vietnam War. I would have the students reenact the events that occurred throughout the world over many years. Another technique that may be effective would be to have the students act out the events in the appropriate month that it occurred in history. For example, I could create a lesson based on the military radio conversations on the day Pearl Harbor was bombed by Kamikaze pilots on December 7, 1941. With this teaching structure, the students will be able to see just how and when events happened and who did what, instead of reading straight from a textbook or slideshow. As a visual learner, this approach would be much more successful than the traditional textbook approach.
