Constructing Science Learning:
Learning through a process of constructing knowledge and understanding.
Working in group and making thinking visible.
Understanding as a giant concept map, or Schema.
Instructional strategies
Providing students ways to access prior knowledge,promoting the organization of knowledge and establishing communities of inquirers.
