Learn how to construct lessons that will inspire your students to explore science concepts
and develop their own knowledge. This course examines a different approach to science instruction
implemented by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and National Science
Teachers Association, NSF‘s funded Curriculum Topic Study. The ideas of this new planning model
challenge teachers to examine the science topics they teach to make well informed decisions to
improve student learning. Participants will investigate Internet resources to create curricula
using research based strategies, online multimedia and scientific inquiry. Course activities
will result in lessons for your classroom. This course is suitable for teachers, K – 12.
