WOW lessons use the aquatic environment and real lake data to explore
basic science concepts. Most lessons appear in two different forms: a "Studying" lesson
and an "Investigating" lesson. "Studying" lessons
allow you to apply and learn concepts through direct, guided experiences. "Investigating" lessons
provide opportunities to discover the same concepts and involve more
problem-solving.
Each lesson is organized into a thinking framework of
six sequential parts that are critical for improving scientific and
technological literacy: knowledge base, experimental design, data collection,
data
management and analysis, interpretation of results, and reporting results.
As you practice this framework of scientific thinking you will be modeling
the practices of scientists. To help use the lessons, we've created
a few tutorials to better use our site and the data:
