  • Top priorities include promoting a greater emphasis on depth over breadth in understanding science and getting young people to continually engage in the practices of both scientific inquiry and engineering design as part of the learning process.
  • core scientific concepts revisited at multiple grade levels to build on prior learning and help facilitate a deeper understanding.
  • “next generation”
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The framework is built around three major dimensions: scientific and engineering practices; cross-cutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering; and core ideas in four disciplinary areas—physical sciences, life sciences, earth and space sciences, and engineering, technology, and the applications of science.
  • In setting the stage for the framework, the committee points to its concerns about the current state of science education in the United States. “It is not organized systematically across multiple years of school, emphasizes discrete facts with a focus on breadth over depth, and does not provide students with engaging opportunities to experience how science is actually done,” the document says. “The framework is designed to directly address and overcome these weaknesses.”
  • “Engineering and technology are featured alongside the natural sciences ... for two critical reasons: to reflect the importance of understanding the human-built world, and to recognize the value of better integrating the teaching and learning of science, engineering, and technology,”

  • “Scientific curiosity is the core of the human soul—wonder. Human beings have a compelling need to explore nature and understand the world around us. We are all scientists,” I observed. “Some of us have the privilege of pursuing scientific discovery as a career, but the rest of us make science possible by contributing their hard-earned money and their curiosity in support of science. Science is a group effort.” Forty-eight hours later I had my faith tested.

    Conference article from the University of Sydney. It discusses how university students rote learn facts and how important it is for them to actually manipulate concepts, so the use of what they call "slowmation" (slow animation) provides that manipulation factor.

  • Ignorance about regression to the mean can fool us about why we recover from illness.
  • The most useful skill we could teach is the habit of asking oneself and others, how do you know?
  • If knowledge comes from intuition or anecdote, it is likely wrong.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • In one neat experiment, participants rewarded students’ punctuality or punished tardiness for 15 days, then evaluated whether carrots or sticks worked better. Verdict: punishment. Unbeknownst to the “teachers,” the exercise had been rigged: students arrived at random times (generated by computer) unrelated to what teachers did. Yet the teachers believed their intervention had an effect. (A nickel says parents fall for the same illusion.)

    There is a list of tools that you can make for various uses. A moisture sensor for plant soil, a power usage monitor, a laser trip wire, a home weather station, UAV spy plane, wildlife camera, etc. Great for science classes.
