In this interactive session, you will learn how to use free, NGSS-aligned investigations to build students’ critical-thinking, collaboration and communication skills. These investigations were developed by the Natural History Museum of Utah in partnership with teachers. They include authentic museum collections and research and are supported with scientist-led media.  

During this session, we will work in collaborative groups to tackle a phenomenon-based, real-world research question. Like your students, you will be able to gather your own data, analyze and evaluate it, and, ultimately, reason with your data to develop an evidence-based argument that answers your research question. We will, also, explore strategies for student-driven evaluation and differentiating instruction.  You will walk away with resources you can immediately use with your students and will help you build classroom capacity for student-driven learning.
