These stir stations will provide the ability to turn current teacher demonstrations into hands-on, student centered activities. There are at least a dozen labs students will be able to complete themselves across at least four different classes that they currently cannot complete. This type student-led inquiry is fully aligned with NVACCS Science standards in Physical and Life Sciences, especially the Science and Engineering Practices. Students will design and conduct their own experiments to promote their understanding of both science processes and science content. These critical Science and Engineering Practices standards require hands-on, in person learning to master. COVID school closures and virtual learning environments have denied current high school students nearly two years of these types of hands-on experiments. Being able to move current teacher demonstrations to student-led activities will provide necessary opportunities for students to make up for missed opportunities that the COVID pandemic has denied them. Standards: SEPs Asking Questions and Defining Problems Planning and Carrying Out Investigations Analyzing and Interpreting Data Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
