Science: From Earth to Outer Space

Enduring Understanding Science basics such as safety, measurement, and the scientific method can be presented in relevant and meaningful ways to students.

Module Overview Come along with the astronauts of the space shuttle SLS-2, Columbia, and develop enduring understanding, essential questions, assessments, and teaching strategies when teaching lab safety, measurement, and the scientific method in secondary science classrooms.

Module Focus This module focuses on 3 key topics in any secondary science classroom: Lab safety Measurement Scientific Method This module focuses on 3 key topics in any secondary science classroom: Lab safety Measurement Scientific Method CFB
