Planning for Lab Investigations in the Science Classroom
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.
This Quick Course will introduce you to problem-based learning as the basis for lab experiments in your science classroom and will provide a lab report template you can use to ensure students follow each step of the Scientific Method.
Learn a structure for introducing poster presentations into your GT science classroom. You will learn the requirements for students to construct their own experiments, analyze data, and then report their results in a gallery walk format. A pre-designed poster template is included.
At the conclusion of these courses, you will receive 20 Professional Development Hours (Clock Hours, CPEs) and signed certificates of completion for each course.
