Lesson plan for High School about the Nature of Science
We developed a lesson plan that facilitates the instruction of the nature of science and highlights that scientific research is actively being conducted and being critically evaluated and used to refine previous scientific knowledge. This lesson plan addresses specific NGSS expectations and aims to improving student understanding of the nature of science. We provide a 5E lesson plan guide to presenting materials in a way that allows students to explore their own ideas and develop their own conclusions with guidance from an instructor. Focusing on a well-established system in behavioral ecology, students are presented with the building blocks to explore the mechanisms of sexual selection and species interactions. This lesson plan provides a unique opportunity to introduce students to the complexity of ecological interactions in the wild while guiding them through thinking like a scientist.
