Attention - Shipping Due to the current situation we are facing as a society and ongoing challenges beyond our control, we are experiencing delays in both our supply chain as well as ship times from our warehouse. This comprehensive resource for STEM teachers and students, outlines the various stages of large-scale research projects, enabling teachers to coach their students through the research process.

This handbook provides enough detail to embolden all teachers—even those who have never designed an experiment on their own—to support student-researchers through the entire process of conducting experiments. Chris Browne said:. February 20, at pm. After several attempts to teach research and to have students experience inquiry that is truly their own, into my high school chemistry classes, I realized that this was nearly impossible to do and do it correctly.

The proposal was enthusiastically accepted, so now I am in the process of putting together a class using this book as a base. February 21, at am. Congrats on your new course. Best of luck to you.

This handbook provides enough detail to embolden all teachers—even those who have never designed an experiment on their own—to support student-researchers through the entire process of conducting experiments. Early chapters—research design, background research, hypothesis writing, and proposal writing—help students design and implement their research projects.

Later chapters on descriptive and inferential statistics, as well as graphical representations, help them correctly interpret their data. Finally, the last chapters enable students to effectively communicate their results by writing and documenting a STEM research paper, as well as by preparing for oral and poster presentations.

Included are student handouts, checklists, presentation observation sheets, and sample assessment rubrics.
