Protopapa-Henkel, John; Bailey, Janelle M. – Science Teacher, 2021
The National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) and the "Next Generation Science Standards" ("NGSS") have attempted to make planning easier for teachers by creating a common resource bank, but there is no unit design process specifically created for science teachers in a project- and inquiry-based classroom. Without a common…

Mang, Ha My Anna; Chu, Hye-Eun; Martin, Sonya N.; Kim, Chan-Jong – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2021
This study employed a multi-phased process to guide the development of an approach for integrating socio-scientific issues (SSI) and science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education in a way that can reform how science is taught in schools to improve scientific literacy. This approach can help teachers connect science…
