Are you interested in using argument-driven inquiry for middle and high school lab instruction but just aren't sure how to do it? This book is a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations to help Earth and space science students work the way scientists do. It 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. Introduction labs acquaint students with new content and application labs offer deeper exploration of the use of a theory, law, or unifying concept. 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.
