Effective integration of Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) is essential for fostering student engagement and understanding of science concepts. This webinar equips educators with practical strategies for seamlessly incorporating SEPs - such as Modeling, Data Analysis, and Constructing Explanations - into their science curriculum with significantly reduced preparation time. By combining dynamic simulations with targeted scaffolds, any teacher can empower students to engage in authentic, high-quality sensemaking while requiring less prep work from educators.We will demonstrate how scaffolds ranging from graphing and data analysis tools to evidence organizers and claim-evidence-reasoning frameworks can facilitate student-driven investigations and support deeper sensemaking. This practices-infused approach not only enhances conceptual understanding but also directly prepares students for success on new practices-aligned state assessments that evaluate scientific thinking skills alongside content knowledge.Attendees will begin with interactive simulations that explore real-world phenomena and explore adding these scaffolds. This hands-on experience will involve building and refining models, analyzing complex datasets, and constructing well-founded explanations. Educators will gain insights into guiding students through intricate scientific practices while providing differentiated feedback to enhance learning outcomes - all with more efficient use of instructional planning time.Key TakeawayBy the end of this webinar, educators will possess actionable strategies and a toolkit of resources to effectively implement SEPs, empowering all students to deeply engage with scientific concepts and practices.Presenter BioSuzanne Kehret is a learning designer with 18 years of experience in K-12 science education. She has a B.S. in Biology Education from Iowa State University and an M.A. in Educational Technology from Concordia University, St. Paul.
