About this Episode

This week we talk about some of the objections we typically hear to Phenomenon Driven (or AST) forms of science teaching: you need to understand the math to understand the phenomenon, kids sharing misconceptions leads to more kids having misconceptions, "low achievers" can't do this without learning the academic language first, and it just takes more time.
