Greetings, fellow educators!
As we voyage through the ever-evolving realm of education, we are always on the lookout for valuable resources to ignite our students' passion for learning (or at least get them off Snapchat for a couple of minutes). You will want to bookmark these resources as you plan for the next school year. They will help you get off on the right foot by exciting your students' and engaging their critical thinking skills! You know, that thing that every boss wants their employees to have!
Allow me to introduce…Research Quest, an amazing online series of science investigations hosted by the renowned Natural History Museum of Utah!
Embarking on a Quest for Scientific Marvels:
Marco…POLO!
AKA Let your students become explorers! Research Quest investigations help your students dive into real-world scientific mysteries, through the power of digitized museum collections and data. Students are immersed in captivating investigations that challenge them to unravel the secrets of the natural world.
Picture this…students…unearthing ancient fossils…through a digital 3D model of a dinosaur jawor embarking on daring aerial and ground research to solve the puzzling mystery behind the Lodgepole Pine trees (no relation to Tadpoles [I think]). No matter which investigations you use, Research Quest creates an interactive learning environment that whisks students away on an extraordinary journey of discovery.
Unlocking the Treasure Trove of Critical Thinking:
Prepare to witness the transformation of your students into masterful critical thinkers. Research Quest possesses a profound ability to awaken their young Sherlock Holmes by engaging them with authentic scientific questions, data, and evidence. As they navigate through the phenomenon-based investigations, students learn the art of evaluating arguments, weighing evidence, and honing their analytical prowess.
With their trusty Research Assistant Notebooks by their side, they’ll embark on a heroic quest to solve perplexing questions while equipping themselves with invaluable critical thinking skills that will serve them on their lifelong adventures.
An Odyssey of Engaging and Impactful Learning:
Prepare to be awestruck by the captivating power of Research Quest. My oldest son, this is his bag more than a step-back 3-pointer is in James Harden’s. The idea is that, by using Research Quest in your classroom, you’ll witness your students’ metamorphosis from little cell phone pirates into engaged explorers solving more mysteries than Carmen Sandiego.
TL;DR:
Research Quest, a totally free offering from the Natural History Museum of Utah, beckons students to embark on a number of extraordinary expeditions. As they delve into real-world scientific mysteries, you’re able to kindle the flames of curiosity, foster critical thinking, and promote a deep appreciation for the marvels of the natural world.
