Project-Based Science Instruction: A Primer--An Introduction and Learning Cycle for Implementing Project-Based Science
Colley, Kabba
Science Teacher, v75 n8 p23-28 Nov 2008
Project-based science (PBS) instruction can simply be defined as a student-centered science teaching approach, in which students produce tangible learning outcomes by posing and answering research questions that are relevant to their own lives and communities. In a PBS classroom, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning. This article provides an introduction to PBS instruction for both beginning and veteran science teachers who are interested in implementing this approach in their classrooms. (Contains 4 figures.)
