This session is an introduction to a new approach to science instruction called Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI). ADI gives students in grades 3-5 an opportunity to learn how to use the core ideas, practices, and crosscutting concepts of science to make sense of natural phenomena. This instructional approach is designed to use science as way to help children develop literacy (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) skills and learn important mathematical concepts. In this session, participants will learn about the stages of the ADI instructional model, how it was designed, and how it is aligned with the TEKS for science, ELA, and math and with the ELPS.
