Transform your chemistry labs with this guide to argument-driven inquiry. Designed to be much more authentic for instruction than traditional laboratory activities, the investigations in this book give high school students the opportunity to work the way scientists do. They learn to identify questions, develop models, collect and analyze data, generate arguments, and critique and revise their reports. Thirty field-tested labs cover a broad range of topics related to chemical reactions and matter's structure and properties. You can use them as introduction labs to acquaint students with new content or as application labs to try out a theory, law, or unifying concept. Like Argument-Driven Inquiry in Biology, this book was written by veteran teachers who made it easy to use and aligned with today's standards. All labs include reproducible student pages, teacher notes, and checkout questions. If you've been wanting to try an argument-driven approach to chemistry but haven't been sure how, this book will provide both the information and instructional materials you need to get started.

"This book not only describes how argument-driven inquiry (ADI) works and why it is important, but also provides 14 investigations that can be used in the classroom to help students reach the performance expectations found in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States 2013; henceforth referred to as the NGSS) for 3rd grade . The fourteen investigations described in this book will also enable students to develop the disciplinary-based literacy skills outlined in the Common Core State Standards for English language arts (NGAC and CCSSO 2010) because ADI gives students an opportunity to give presentations to their peers, respond to audience questions and critiques, and then write, evaluate, and revise reports as part of each investigation. In addition, these investigations will help students learn many of the mathematical ideas and practices outlined in the Common Core State Standards for mathematics (NGAC and CCSSO 2010) because ADI gives students an opportunity to use mathematics to collect, analyze, and interpret data. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, ADI can help emerging bilingual students meet the English Language Proficiency Standards (CCSSO 2010 2014) because it provides a language-rich context where children can use receptive and productive language to communicate and to negotiate meaning with others. Teachers can therefore use these investigations to align how and what they teach with current recommendations for improving science education"--

"Free your students--and yourself--from the same old worksheets and data tables. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physical Science will make middle school labs much more active and engaging. Its 22 investigations teach students to use argument to construct, support, and evaluate scientific claims of their own and others. The labs cover four core ideas in physical science: matter, motion and forces, energy, and waves. Students dig into important content and discover scientific practices as they figure out everything from how thermal energy works to what could make an action figure jump higher"--

Are you interested in using argument-driven inquiry for middle and high school lab instruction but just aren' t sure how to do it? Argument-Driven Inquiry in Earth and Space Science is a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations to help Earth and space science students work the way scientists do.The book includes a well-organized series of 23 field-tested labs that cover a variety of topics such as Earth' s place in the universe, the history of Earth, Earth' s systems, weather and climate, and Earth and human activity. You can use the introduction labs to acquaint students with new content or the application labs for deeper exploration of the use of a theory, law, or unifying concept. The labs will also help your students learn the science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts found in the Next Generation Science Standards and develop the disciplinary skills outlined in the Common Core State Standards.Student Lab Manual for Argument-Driven Inquiry in Earth and Space Science provides the student materials you need to guide your students through these investigations. With lab details, safety information, and handouts, your students will be ready to start investigating.
