  Help students understand concepts such as motion, energy, and magnetism in true-to-life contexts. The book offers a comprehensive description of why, how, and when to implement problem-based learning (PBL) in your curriculum. Its 14 developmentally appropriate lessons cover forces and motion, energy transformation, and electricity and magnetism. This professional resources demonstrates to teachers how to use scenarios in creative ways to represent real-world science in all its messy, thought-provoking glory. The scenarios will prompt K–12 learners to work collaboratively, the way scientists do through problem analysis, inquiry, pose hypotheses, research, and then construct solutions. Offers extensive examples, instructions, and tips for implementing open-ended inquiry. It also provides rich, authentic problems you can use as is or adapt. NTSA resource. NGSS.
