This study explores seventh graders' use of inscriptions in a teacher-designed project-based science unit. To investigate students' learning practices during the 8-month water quality unit, we collected multiple sources of data (e.g., classroom video reco
The space station's near misses with debris are a continual issue, which provides excellent resources for scientific project and problem based learning in science.
The goal of these problems is to teach students about astronomy and space science by using mathematics and real-world problems. The current batch is for April-May.
