Use the menu at the top of the page to access self-guided PD and lesson templates for each of the following strategies.
Engage students with a provocation from an "I See / I Think" perspective
Access student voice / choice and align curriculum with questions derived through a prescribed brainstorming strategy!
Use teacher demonstration combined with replication and first hand observation to investigate and explain scientific phenomena.
Engage students in creativity, critical thinking, and entrepreurship skills through problem-based learning tasks involving building, prototyping, and investigating all while being empathetic towards the end user.
Use case studies or an "end goal" to engage students and access curriculum.
The star of the show: student-centered inquiry through experimental design and manipulation of variables. Starting with the initial set of control variables in a data based experiment. Then flip your "cookbook" labs to follow: Demonstrate, Replicate, investigate, Variate, evaluate.
Starting points for cross-curricular Engineering Design and Experimentation in grade 7/8. Connect the content in Math, Social Studies, Literacy, Art, etc through the lens of Scientific Principles and Problem Based Learning!
Increase the depth of your science class or lessons with high powered literacy strategies that will support Multilingual Learners and boost the understanding of all!
