Course Description:

(45 ISBE Clock Hours) Scientific Investigation in the classroom is a process where students are at the center of learning scientific principles through a discovery-based learning approach. This highly detailed course will teach you that a full scientific investigation consists of Pre- and Post-Lab activities in addition to the in-class laboratory lesson. Proper investigation is more than completing a hands-on activity that aligns with content; it is a process that sets students up for independent discovery or a problem to solve. As a result, students can master content goals alongside necessary scientific investigation skills and at an appropriate level of rigor.
