This is the seventh in a series of seven web seminars that focus on the science and engineering practices found within the Next Generation Science Standards. Presenter Rick Duschl, from Penn State University, talks about the practice of planning and carrying out investigations. He then shares an example lesson that highlights the use of the practice—including generating evidence, designing experiments, and evaluating evidence. He also discusses the role of prior knowledge in scientific thinking and the importance of giving students opportunities to gain direct experience with these skills, and provides examples of student work to demonstrate clearly the expected student performance.
