Move beyond students learning about science and into true NGSS alignment where the students become the scientists. In this workshop, teachers will explore methods to prepare the students to plan and design their own investigations using given criteria and constraints. Through hands-on activities, participants will learn how to get their students asking their own questions, writing and following their own lab procedures, collecting and visualizing data, and drawing conclusions based on solid scientific principles and reasoning. Participants will be provided with strategies and resources for implementation so that teachers feel confident in scaffolding successful lab experiences like these for their own students at any age.
