The probes I am requesting are similar tools used by scientists and engineers in our world today. Learning to how to use these probes first-hand gives our students the advantage of being better prepared for what lies ahead in their STEM career journey. Students will be presented with various case studies to problem-solve using the probes provided. They will propose a claim, gather evidence by collecting data and analyzing it, and based on the results determine whether or not their initial claim/solution is accepted or rejected. They will develop soft skills such as collaboration, critical-thinking, communication, and creativity through the process.
