Tips for engaging students in research projects.
A key practice of successful scientists and engineers is the ability to clearly communicate the ideas and methods they develop. Being able to review and critique the ideas of others are fundamental activities of professional STEM professionals.
Argumentation is an important practice whereas the scientist develops explanations using evidence and reasoning to explain observed phenomena.
Scientists and engineers use and develop models for representing ideas and explanations.
Scientists and engineers develop the procedures for their research and then carry out their investigations in a variety of environments (i.e., in the lab, outdoors, with others, as well as independently). They must plan in advance their criteria for the data they wish to collect, the condit
The products of science are explanations and the products of engineering are solutions.
