The focus is on children’s thinking, and teaching for understanding using models and strategies essential to quality science learning. Students master the 5Es instructional model, practice questioning strategies, conduct in-depth student-work analyses, and explore powerful resources for science teaching and learning including Problem/Project Based Learning, Project Lead the Way, and MySci.
