Science & Engineering Practices: 1 of the 3 Dimensions of the AZ Science Standards

The science and engineering practices describe a robust process for how scientists investigate and build models and theories of the natural world or how engineers design and build systems. Participants will gain an understanding of how the science and engineering practices are what students do when engaged in learning the core ideas and how the practices progress over grade bands.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize how science and engineering practices can be used by students for making sense of the phenomena.

Describe how the science and engineering practices progress through the grade bands to support student learning.

Explain how science and engineering practices are an integral dimension to the Arizona Science Standards.
