Research in the Classroom
For 3rd-12th EducatorsOctober 18, 2025
8:30 am - 3:30 pm
8:30 am - 3:30 pm
How do we turn casual observations into a well-designed research project? We will explore how to use peer-review standards for research to create unique research projects for our students. Using MDCPS pacing guides, we will learn how to think about real-world problems and develop and test hypotheses from our questions. Important aspects of this process that we will explore include: How to navigate literature searches; How to develop experimental design; How to showcase our students’ work at conferences and science fairs, in journals, and how to gain funding for these opportunities.
Educator workshops made possible with the support of Latin American and Carribean Center ACC's US Department of Education Title VI Grant.
