Beschreibungen/Notizen
"Do trees die in the winter?" Questions like this are common curiosities children have as they explore the world around them. They may notice ants walking by, or wonder about the movements of the Sun and Moon. These wonderings guide their exploration of their surrounding environment and are the drive for current reforms in science education. In particular, the goal is to help children make sense of science phenomena, natural, observable events or things that exist and can be explained or predicted using science. This type of scientific sensemaking involves using investigations, models, and other resources such as texts to figure out how and why phenomena occur. Scientific sensemaking is also supported by the Next Generation Science Standards through the integration of science and engineering practices. When students use science and engineering practices to make sense of phenomena, they are also building scientific literacy. Scientific literacy refers to the ability to engage with science ideas through explaining phenomena scientifically, understanding how science knowledge is constructed, and interpreting evidence.
