Help your students turn observation into a superpower! 👀👂⚡
Distinguishing between what we see (observation) and what it means (inference) is the foundation of the scientific method. Developed by #SCLAmbassador and veteran middle school teacher Ariel Raymond, our new classroom-ready lesson plan—OBSERVER: Seeing, Sensing, and Inferring—takes students beyond just “looking” and into the world of evidence-based reasoning.
Whether your students are exploring the schoolyard or a local park, these tools help them build the mental habits to think like scientists.
