Building Your Project Portfolio With Science Research Projects

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Increasingly, schools are requiring students to produce science portfolios to reflect their body of work in scientific study. This book introduces students to the portfolio concept and how to select and present what they wish to include. It also covers the four types of project-based learning, controlled investigations, field investigations, design investigations, and secondary-research investigations, with projects drawing on the Next Generation Science Standards. A dozen hands-on projects connect readers with real-world skills they can apply in their community. Engaging sidebars provide students with interesting additional information related to the projects.

Exploring Controlled Investigations Through Science Research Projects

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Controlled investigations, the classic sort of science experiment that involved controlled and dependent variables, have been the source of much scientific knowledge over the years. Learners will engage with science through controlled investigations using Project-Based Learning, or PBL, a student-centered pedagogy that involves active and inquiry-based learning. Each project asks student groups to consider an essential question to form a hypothesis and use technology, research, and experimentation to prove or disprove the hypothesis. Sidebars give learners context for what they're learning in each chapter, and a comprehensive list of useful, PBL-friendly tools is provided for reference.

Exploring Field Investigations Through Science Research Projects

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Taking a cue from notable scientists such as Charles Darwin and Jane Goodall, project-based learning in field investigations invites students to explore science outside the classroom. One way to inspire readers' excitement and curiosity about science is to empower them with the tools to find real-world answers to big questions. A field investigation is a scientific research process that involves a systematic collection of data from the environment that contributes to a better understanding of science concepts in the natural world. Twelve hands-on projects with subjects correlate to the Next Generation Science Standards, including field investigations in physics, life sciences, and engineering design.

Exploring Journal Writing Through Science Research Projects

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Throughout history, scientists such as Marie Curie and Isaac Newton recorded their hypotheses and predictions, kept track of data during experiments, and protected precious samples from the field in journals. This instructive volume covers the four main areas of science: Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering Design. Students will learn how to create their own science journals. They can choose from a variety of hands-on experiments, such as creating a model of the new ninth planet to designing a water filtration system, in order to broaden and deepen their learning experience and share newfound knowledge with their peers.
