Explorations
At Right Angles, A Resource for school Mathematics
How did scientists arrive at the textbook ideas students are asked to accept? What happens when students test a claim rather than simply read it? Here the evidence and reasoning behind textbook ideas are examined ... and opened to exploration of real-world questions. Read pieces on how scientific understanding evolved and how they can be tested in classrooms today. See how the process of science connects what scientists do with how students learn to think like scientists. Do share explorations of ideas from EVS and science textbooks. A tentative approach matters more than complete conclusions.
