Project-Based Learning
SCIENCE and ENGINEERING
Project-based Learning will include:

SCIENCE and ENGINEERING Project-based Learning will include:
• Engaging your child in asking testable questions and defining problems to pursue understanding of phenomena.
• Developing and using models: Your child will develop physical, conceptual, and other models to represent relationships, explain mechanisms, and predict outcomes.
• Planning and carrying out investigations: Your child will plan and conduct scientific investigations in order to test, revise, or develop explanations.
• Analyzing and interpreting data: Your child will analyze various types of data in order to create valid interpretations or to assess claims/conclusions.
• Using mathematics and computational thinking: Your child will use fundamental tools in science to compute relationships and interpret results.
• Constructing explanations and designing solutions: Your child will construct explanations about the world and design solutions to problems using observations that are consistent with current evidence and scientific principles.
• Engaging in argument from evidence: Your child will support their best explanations with lines of reasoning using evidence to defend their claims. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information: Students obtain, evaluate, and derive meaning from scientific information or presented evidence using appropriate scientific language. They communicate their findings clearly and persuasively in a variety of ways including written text, graphs, diagrams, charts, tables, or orally.
