The new science standards require that students think more deeply about phenomena, investigations, and data. The standards also ask students to apply what they have learned to solve problems specific to the human condition and the world in which we live. Structures to support students in this process include CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) and the use of engineering design. This session will engage teachers in how to use these structures to support student learning and reflection.
