Description
Are visions of students hypothesizing, designing experiments to test their explanations, analyzing data, writing formal publications of results, and debating over scientific procedures in an attempt to justify their control of variables dancing in your head? This dream can become a reality when you implement hypothesis-based learning (HBL) into your science curriculum. Follow the suggestions found in this article to put your dream in motion, and wake-up to a classroom teeming with motivated, on-task, and eager students as they learn an enormous amount of scientific concepts.
Ideas For Use
When engaged in Hypothesis-based learning, students are interested in the lecture because they are learning more about their own experiences. As a result, they retain concepts because they were motivated to learn about them in the first place.

- Science as Inquiry
- Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
- Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data.
- Develop descriptions, explanations, predictions, and models using evidence.
- Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence and explanations.
- Understandings about scientific inquiry
- Types of investigations include describing objects, events, and organisms; classifying them; and doing a fair test (experimenting).
- Scientists develop explanations using observations (evidence) and what they already know about the world (scientific knowledge). Good explanations are based on evidence from investigations.
- Teaching Standards
- Teachers of science develop communities of science learners that reflect the intellectual rigor of scientific inquiry.
- Model and emphasize the skills, attitudes, and values of scientific inquiry.
