Description:
The Understandings of Consequence Project aims to help students learn difficult science concepts by engaging them in how scientists think about the underlying causality. Students have limited knowledge of the nature of causality so they often distort information that they are learning to fit with a simpler causal model. This website offers curriculum modules that address the patterns of causality within the particular topic to help students reach for new understandings. The modules address Density, Pressure, Simple Circuits, and a very simple yet effective module on Ecosystems.
