Although the focus on evidence-based explanations is prevalent in the science education research literature, few concrete examples exist of what this inquiry practice looks like when successfully implemented in the classroom. The co-PIs have developed the middle school comprehensive science curriculum, Investigating and Questioning our World through Science and Technology (IQWST), which emphasizes scientific explanation and argument through out. Based on the workshops with the teachers testing IQWST and the research accompanying that development, a book linking current science education research to classroom practice is to be written and tested. The book provides concrete written and video examples of student explanations and arguments, along with accompanying professional development facilitator materials. The examples include a variety of different contexts in terms of content and diversity of students. Teachers are supported in incorporating various instructional strategies in their own teaching. The framework of claim, evidence, reasoning and rebuttal is made explicit for both teachers and students. These materials take the theoretical ideas and illustrate what they look like in actual classroom practice to educate inservice and preservice teachers, teacher educators and professional development providers. In addition, research is done with twenty-five teachers to determine the impact of the materials on teachers' beliefs and classroom practice around scientific explanation.

虽然注重以证据为基础的解释是普遍的科学教育研究文献，很少有具体的例子存在什么样的调查实践时，成功地在课堂上实施。 co-PI开发了中学综合科学课程，通过科学和技术调查和质疑我们的世界（IQWST），强调科学解释和论证。 基于与测试IQWST的教师的研讨会和伴随该发展的研究，将编写和测试一本将当前科学教育研究与课堂实践联系起来的书。 这本书提供了具体的书面和视频的例子，学生的解释和论点，沿着随着专业发展促进材料。 这些例子包括内容和学生多样性方面的各种不同背景。 支持教师在自己的教学中融入各种教学策略。 为教师和学生明确了主张、证据、推理和反驳的框架。 这些材料采取的理论思想，并说明他们看起来像在实际的课堂实践，教育在职和在职教师，教师教育工作者和专业发展提供者。 此外，本研究还对25名教师进行了调查，以确定这些材料对教师的信念和围绕科学解释的课堂实践的影响。
