Research has shown that it takes more than quality instruction to debunk students' science misconceptions. If you don't agree, just Google "Harvard Students Explain Seasons."

Before teachers can plan this level of instruction, they must uncover these misconceptions. This session will look at strategies to bring misconceptions to light and provide time to work with colleagues to brainstorm ways to address common science misconceptions.
