This workshop allows educators to experience four of the science practices embedded within exemplary Gizmo lessons. Consequently, participants develop a deeper understanding of the Scientific and Engineering Practices and how those practices look in the classroom. They also learn to develop effective lessons around the practices that allow students to develop a deep conceptual understanding of underlying scientific principles. Participants will learn best practices for using Gizmos to support the practices where students can develop and use models, analyze data, use mathematics, and construct scientific explanations about the concepts involved.
