I have sat in numerous classrooms where the phrase "Shhhhh" has been used. In science I believe there should be noise. I took this article as a reminder of why social experience must take place. Students learn by being actively engaged, mentally and physically. Active engagement happens the most in group exercises. If a classroom is completely silent ideas and obversations are not being shared between students nor teachers.
Personally, I enjoy learning from fellow peers. I'm not as nervous to ask them questions as I might be to ask a teacher. Therefore, group projects are enjoyable for me. I like exchanging information back and forth and assigning jobs to each member. It allows the opportunity for students to learn the concept of teamwork as well as discover and learn from one another.
