Student-designed Experiments: Part 1 Building Curiosity
Student-designed Experiments: Part 1 Building Curiosity
In this workshop, we will practice a repeatable structure for introducing a topic that will be studied through scientific exploration using a remote teaching and learning platform. We will help our students conduct a preliminary investigation at home developing interest in a particular phenomenon by generating data and making observations and hypotheses. We will then […]

Student-designed Experiments: Part 2 Helping Students Write an Experimental Procedure
Student-designed Experiments: Part 2 Helping Students Write an Experimental Procedure
In this workshop, we will pick up where Part 1 of this series left off. We begin with a list of variables our students have identified as potentially impacting a particular phenomenon they have explored. Using a think-pair-share process, we will give students the structure needed to write steps for a scientific investigation using the […]

Student-designed Experiments: Part 3 Guiding Students Through Data Analysis
Student-designed Experiments: Part 3 Guiding Students Through Data Analysis
Teachers will play the role of the students, collecting data in their own homes and pooling their observations and measurements in a spreadsheet shared by their lab partners. We will conduct data analysis within lab groups during the workshop to experience how this process can be performed using remote teaching and learning platforms. Peer critiques […]

Student-designed Experiments: Part 4 Drawing Evidence-based Conclusions
Student-designed Experiments: Part 4 Drawing Evidence-based Conclusions
This workshop will focus on the content and demands of the conclusion section of a lab report, with applications to data-based questions and internal assessments for IB students, and free response questions for AP students. The conclusions drawn from experimental data must be limited to the scope of the experiment, but it is also important […]

Student-designed Experiments: Part 5 Data-generating Activities for Labs, Demos, and Computation
Student-designed Experiments: Part 5 Data-generating Activities for Labs, Demos, and Computation
Whether in the classroom or at home, how do we initiate the process of student-designed lab or field experiments? The first step is to help the students see potential research questions and the data in the world around them. In this 1.5-hour workshop, we engage in several demonstration activities to help teachers see sources for […]
