The most important projecting factor in a classroom is the teacher. Indeed, the teacher himself/herself is an efficient visual aid to his/her students when the teacher is boosting a delighted impression entering the classroom. A student can integrate transfer of learning from a teacher whose competency in the subject matter, teaching strategies, and assessment tools used are clearly revealed to the mind of the students. The weakening performance of students in Science and Mathematics can be interchanged to something pleasurable, considering that students today are the 21st century learners. Teaching students in the field of Science and Mathematics should be interesting, fun, and witty. If not, the teacher may not teach effectively and create monotony and dullness in the class. Teachers should guarantee that scientific skill, analytic thinking and creativity are achieved by our learners. A science and mathematical concept can be more exciting and fun if it can be presented physically in a model that can be seen, manipulated, and if possible heard. Ideas such as connecting Math and Science to the students’ everyday life and making activities fun are suggested as vital ways to involve students in the learning process.
