I will describe how I use inquiry-based learning and interactive science notebooks in my science classes to engage students in science learning. I will show student examples of the Argument-Driven Inquiry process I use with my students.
The NGSS Lesson Screener includes fewer criteria than the EQuIP Rubric for Science and is intended to more quickly review a learning sequence to see if it is on the right track. It is intended to be used in more informal reviews (no scoring) and is only for evaluating instruction that extends over several class periods or days. Using an LPS created three-dimensional lesson, we will work through the criteria on this free tool. Participants will leave with a working knowledge of some quality control on the new lessons they are creating or curating to meet the 2017 Nebraska College & Career Ready Science Standards.
