Abstract

Conceptualizing, implementing, and interpreting experiments is a key part of building scientific knowledge (Lawson, 2010; Zimmerman, 2007). The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) emphasize understanding and engaging in scientific practices, and underscore the need for additional research into how to help students develop these types of skills (NGSS Lead States, 2013). Students and teachers each bring their own ideas and experiences about how scientific knowledge is established into the science classroom. This set of research studies explores the topic of experimentation from those dual viewpoints in order to inform the development of curriculum and preparation of teachers.
