Making Science Education Meaningful

Science teaching and learning should build toward more sophisticated understandings and practices – but where do we start? Leading with meaningful phenomena and problems help us move past the question of what to teach, and instead allow us to focus on the why.

Designing Authentic Earth and Space Science Learning to Reach All Students

NextGenScience will highlight five features that can help Earth and space science learning experiences to better connect to science as a profession as well as the science we use in our everyday lives, making the field more accessible, relevant, and meaningful to students
