Encourage Students to Love Science by Letting Them Do Science
When students engage with science to figure out phenomena, integrate new data, develop models, and discuss ideas, they construct a deeper, more memorable understanding of disciplinary core ideas in science.
Research consistently shows that students learn science best when actively engaged in the scientific process. Not only are they engaging through doing, but they’re also building critical skills and comprehension that integrates across multiple disciplines.
Tools like science notebooks, informational texts, integrated technology, and real-world applications engage students in active investigations. Science-centered language development and ongoing formative assessments allow teachers to guide students on their path to discovery.
