Comparing Approaches to Hands-On Learning: Designed by the Exploratorium Institute for Inquiry (IfI), this unit gives participants a hands-on learning experience in three different ways, and is followed up by a reflective discussion on pedagogy and matching activity to goals.
How People Learn Science: Participants engage in a facilitated small group discussion on a reading assignment from “How Students Learn: Science in the Classroom.” Connections are also made to participants’ learning and teaching experience.
