7 Real Time Data Online Science Investigations: Project-Based Learning Designed to Develop Quantitative Skills Students learn how to conduct science investigations in the same manner as scientists, as they learn to analyze sets of online real time data to solve problems. Using real time data for developing quantitative literacy in project-based learning science activities focuses on students’ ability to use critical thinking and mathematical reasoning skills to draw sound conclusions during science investigations. While quantitative skills are used heavily in math and science, it is not exclusive to either content area. It is a necessary skill used for decision-making and an ability to understand data by applying numerical insight into experimental findings. in Public bookmarkswith activitiescritical_thinkingdatainvestigationsonlineproblem-based_learningproject-basedwetzel
Science Case Studies and Problem Based Learning: Studying Problems Using Prior Knowledge, Experiences, and Reasoning The use of case studies in science is actually a group of methods used to stimulate student critical thinking and inquiry learning. Science case studies can be complex or they can simple in design. The important component of any case study is to engage students in the learning process as they use problem based learning strategies to solve the case. Case studies in science are appropriate for all grade levels in science education. The degree of difficulty increases with grade level. This is due to students relying on their prior knowledge and experiences in science, which influences their reasoning ability. in Public bookmarkswith casecritical_thinkingdesignengageinquirymethodspblproblemprocesswetzel
