Science and Engineering Practices in the K-6 Science Classroom<\/div>\n
Are you interested in learning more about how to bring science to life in your K-6 elementary science classroom by utilizing both phenomena and the science and engineering practices? In this PLC we will use excerpts from Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices by Schwarz to explore each of the eight SEPs and how they help students engage in sense-making of the world around them. We will dive into the standards and focus on helping students understand phenomena in the real world. By shifting the focus of our science instruction from \u201creceive and repeat information\u201d to \u201cworking together to generate and revise knowledge\u201d, the students\u2019 learning will shift from learning about a topic to figuring out why or how something happens<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
