About this Learning Opportunity

How do we help students analyze and interpret data while they investigate the other organizing ideas? What is the difference between a prediction and a hypothesis and how do I teach students this skill and when?  Learn about the important skills students will use when going through the investigation procedures, specific to their grade level, and how these skills build to help students each year.  This session will not only unpack these important skills but will provide practical classroom examples of how to teach and assess them in your classroom in order to  help students build knowledge in each organizing idea.
