Project-Based Learning in Science
Project-based learning is a teaching method that
encourages students to expand on what they learn in class through engrossing,
exploratory projects. Through examples of projects to explore the essentials in
conducting scientific research, this series teaches readers how to use
real-world tools, skills, and tasks to answer key questions related to their
favorite areas of science. Each book shows readers how to engage in the process
of sustained inquiry. Not only will students learn how to approach and solve
problems, but they’ll also learn how to prepare displays or presentations to
share their discoveries with teachers and peers.
• Each book provides 10 to
15 hands-on projects in line with project-based learning, which is an emerging
trend in pedagogy
• Connects school projects with practical, real-world
skills that readers can apply in their community
• The Useful Tools section
directs readers to free, useful websites that can help them jump-start their
projects
