What Is a Project-Based STEM Environment?entered and use formative assessment to support learning (NRC, 2000). A project-based environment incorporates all these features, which when implemented with effective design and instruction could create an ideal space for creativity, understanding, and scholarship. But how does a project-based mil

How Can Project-Based Units Be Designed for STEM Classrooms?ould learn is determined by national, state, and local curricular standards in terms of content. In addition, the PBI designer needs to be aware of classic student misconceptions that students may have with concepts within the discipline content (see Chap. .). This is where the driving question emer

How Can Teachers Locate and Translate Research Specific to Instructional Practice?n misconceptions, learning progressions, assessments, lessons, and case studies. Each of these may provide information that are useful for classroom teachers. One of the challenges is finding the articles for free, and another challenge is translating the literature to the classroom.

Realistic Explorations in Astronomical Learning (REAL) We conducted professional development with 70 middle level science and/or mathematics teachers reaching more than 8000 students. These studies not only researched how students learned in a project-based instruction (PBI) environment but also compared gender differences in Earth/Space understandings

Chemical Reactions Engineered to Address Thermal Energy Situations (CREATES)n, “How can I use chemical reactions to keep me comfortable?” An emphasis is placed on considering both the macroscopic (i.e., what we can observe) and the particulate views (i.e., atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) of matter and the changes it undergoes. Students will design, test, and refine a chemical
