AI Tools to Boost Student Engagement and Sensemaking in the Science Classroom
In this asynchronous course, science teachers will explore AI-driven tools that elevate student engagement, strengthen sensemaking, and support the creation of phenomenon-driven learning experiences. Participants will explore how AI can streamline the design of interactive lessons, scaffold complex concepts for diverse learners, and build coherent storylines anchored in compelling scientific phenomena. Both teacher-facing and student-facing tools will be discussed. All tools and strategies are aligned with the NYSSLS 3-Dimensional framework and are applicable across grade levels and science disciplines.
