Sommario/riassunto

This book provides understanding and practical examples of the practices presented in A Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and addresses important questions about how engaging students in science and engineering practices helps improve science education, what the eight practices look like in the classroom, and how educators can engage students in practices to bring the NGSS to life.
