21st Century Science Practices
Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) refer to the things that scientists and engineers do and how they actively engage in their work. Scientists do much more than make hypotheses and test them with experiments. They engage in wonder, design, modeling, construction, communication, and collaboration. The practices describe the variety of activities that are necessary to do science. The following are links to digital resources that can be used to engage students in science and engineering practices:
