Rigorous science instruction shifts the focus from learning about a topic to figuring out why or how something happens. It engages the student with inquiry and problem solving related to real-world phenomena and everyday situations. This session will explore how to utilize the Idaho Science standards to increase the level of student thinking by engaging them in higher-level questioning, academic discussions, and thoughtful work. This session will also examine how utilizing scientific phenomena helps to answer the question “why do I need to learn this” for students and build a relevant connection from the real world to the content.
