PULL-OUT SECTION SCIENCE TEACHERS' GRAB BAG

摘要

Resisting Scientific Misinformation. M H Developed by science educators in collaboration with PBS NOVA staff at WGBH-TV, this one-week science unit teaches students in grades 6-12 how to evaluate scientific information and distinguish facts from "fake" science. Through standards-supported (Next Generation Science Standards [NGSS] and Common Core) lessons, students identify misleading advertising; create a misleading advertisement based on science; learn appropriate questions to ask to determine a scientific claim's credibility; and learn about scientific processes, how scientists develop confidence in their conclusions, and the role of scientific and professional organizations in communicating research findings. Designed to be completed within a 45-minute period, lessons incorporate brief narrated videos and include student activities. Consult https://bit.ly/2GXMfQy.
