Climate Science 1.0: Engaging in Argument from Evidence
Description
Our overall goal is to provide a FREE online course for K – 12 teachers with strategies and tools to support a shift in teacher-centered discussions towards a student-centered whole-class discourse. To do so, we take a deep dive into one of the Next Generation Science Standards’ (NGSS) Science and Engineering Practice of Engaging in Argument from Evidence. This practice can be done in any grade level and with any content focus. For our purposes we will choose climate science as a vehicle for conducting a student-centered whole-class discourse.
