Growing up thinking scientifically means learning to look at the world and to ask questions, developing and using computer models that help answer questions through scientific inquiry, and using critical thinking to assess which ideas are reasonable and which are not. \u00a0To grow up thinking scientifically means knowing science to be a computing-rich, dynamic, creative endeavor, a way of thinking, rather than a body of facts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectguts.org\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"713\" height=\"119\" src=\"https:\/\/alphonsedevasia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alphonsedevasia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-16.png 713w, https:\/\/alphonsedevasia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-16-300x50.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The content is developed for middle school students and educators with focus on Earth, Life &amp; Physical Science and Earth Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project GUTS\u2019&nbsp;mission is to prepare students for future endeavors in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Computing by providing them with opportunities to build scientific inquiry skills and use technology to explore real-world problems. Project GUTS was designed for students from all different backgrounds to engage in scientific inquiry by investigating topics of interest to their local communities and sharing their experiments and findings in order to inform fellow students and community members. The organizing framework for Project GUTS is the practice of scientific inquiry with agent-based models. The study of complex adaptive systems serves as a unifying theme for GUTS curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Find out more at<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projectguts.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Project GUTS website<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/teacherswithguts.org\" target=\"_blank\">Project GUTS teacher PD website<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project GUTS &#8211; Growing Up Thinking Scientifically is an integrated science and computer science program for middle school students serving schools and districts internationally. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,10],"tags":[20,19,13,11,21],"class_list":["post-162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","category-steam","tag-educationalresources","tag-k12education","tag-resources","tag-steam","tag-teacherstoolkits"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
