WISE Classroom Goals:
Learning through Interaction

WISE projects are built to facilitate deep interactions among students and between students and teacher, about students' science ideas. This approach not only gives all students a chance to express themselves and share their ideas, it encourages constructive social interactions: problem-solving, debate, discussion, and other collaborative work.

What Teachers Say

"Any chance that I can get to provide students an opportunity to apply science concepts on their own, working collaboratively in a project ... I am going to try and facilitate that. So, I really enjoy just kinda popping from group to group and asking questions that will hopefully stimulate more thought."
