The Process of Science and Engineering- Practice 1: Asking Questions and Defining Problems

Doing Science: The Process of Science and Engineering

This Web site is based on a printed publication of the same title. Because high school teachers receive most of the limited number of printed supplements, this online version was created for people outside the grades 7–12 education community.

The content is equivalent to the printed supplement, only in a different format. The unit consists of lesson plans, which are accessed through the Teacher’s Guide section of the Web site, and the multimedia student activities, which are accessed through the Student Activities page. The Web-based activities for students are only one part of the curriculum unit. The Lesson Plans provide the framework for both the hands-on classroom activities and the Web-based multimedia activities that make up this curriculum supplement. Together, the classroom and multimedia activities enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the science behind this important topic, and of how it relates to human health.
