Getting at the Nature of Science by Doing!
Part of CATCA 2026
Thursday 19 February 2026·5:20 pm
In this session participants will engage in three hands-on activities that explore the relationships between observations and inferences and model building and model testing. The activities can be modified for any learning setting in which the unique nature of science is being developed by students. The session will be conducted in English but the classroom ready resources are available for free in both French and English from the Perimeter Institute at resources.perimeterinstitute.ca.
