The Concord Consortium President, Chad Dorsey, will give a featured presentation on the first morning of The National Science Teachers Association conference in San Francisco.
Amy Pallant, Sarah Pryputniewicz, and Hee-Sun Lee describe the High-Adventure Science investigations in the March issue of The Science Teacher. The investigations stimulate students to think critically in order to explore the evidence and discuss the issues of certainty with the models and data. High-Adventure Science has obtained impressive learning results where students showed significant improvement in their understanding of science content and argumentation skills.
