Argument Driven Inquiry (ADI) COURSE DESCRIPTION: Argument Driven Inquiry (ADI) is an innovative approach to laboratory instruction that is based on current research about how people learn science and current recommendations for making lab activities more meaningful for students. ADI gives students an opportunity to learn how to participate in the practices of science and use the core ideas and crosscutting concepts of science to make sense of natural phenomena. This instructional approach also gives students an opportunity to learn how to read, write, and speak in the context of science. WHAT TO BRING: Please bring a laptop or tablet.
