Abstract for the conference program
Year after year, we are directed to dutifully dump piles of information on our students to follow whatever the grade level standards happen to dictate. The problem is that there is rarely time to help students understand the coherence of scientific information. It is little wonder that students are unable to construct a conceptual framework about what science is, much less retain so much disjointed information. This session will be strictly activity-based with ideas that can be taken directly to K-12 classrooms for application.
