Physics teachers—great news! Now there’s a guide to argument-driven inquiry (ADI) especially for you. Like the NSTA Press best-sellers for high school biology and chemistry, this book helps you build your students’ science proficiency. It makes labs more authentic by teaching physics students to work the way scientists do—by identifying questions, developing models, collecting and analyzing data, generating arguments, and critiquing and revising reports.
