This workshop is an introduction to the Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) instructional model. Participants will first learn about the limitations of typical laboratory instruction and why ADI can help middle school students develop the knowledge and skills they need to be proficient in science. Next, the participants will have an opportunity to learn about the instructional model by participating in all eight stages of Lab 19 which addresses PE MS-ESS2-6 with the guiding question "Why do two cities located at the same latitude and near a body of water have such different climates?". Finally, participants will learn how ADI is aligned with the NGSS and CCSS for ELA.
