Episode Synopsis

Let's talk about those back to school activities. Despite the many shifts we've seen teachers making in their classroom, we've seen several teachers continuing to use old practices. Even if they've ditched the scientific method, many teachers are still teaching an intro to science unit. In this episode, Erin discusses some of the reasons why you should skip this intro unit. Instead, teach skills in context.Check out the full episode recap here.  Other resources: Is it time to ditch the Scientific Method? – Episode 5What to avoid when you head back to school – Episode 90Letting Go of Lessons on the Scientific Method – Episode 36Why the Scientific Method Doesn't Belong in the NGSS Classroom – Sadler ScienceWhy I don't do Lab Reports in my NGSS Classroom – Sadler ScienceYou're invited to check out Bring Wonder Back, an on-demand video series designed to help you take your first steps to transforming your students into scientists with 3D teaching practices — what the NGSS is all about!
