Students need to read real science!

Which contains authentic inquiry?

Which provides opportunities for discussions about data?

Which one provides the most up to date information?

Reading technical writing is as important as any other skill we teach. Students need to be reading them more.

I’ve been writing, implementing, and evaluating project-based Authentic Research Experiences in Science (ARES) for the last decade. When I first started, I was disappointed in the resources available to help me plan, and mostly had to figure it out for myself.

I’ve begun writing a guide to help science teachers create ARES projects in their own classroom, and will be sending out updates on a weekly basis. My goal is to share my own process as I plan and implement an ARES project this next semester.
