Week
12: Ozone
Weeks 10, 11, and 12 make up the third three-week cycle
of the course. Currently, you are in Week C: Teacher as Designer.
Use
what you have learned about Problem-Based Learning lessons
from being a student of Ozone to
design your own PBL lesson and reflect on what you have learned
about thinking systemically about Ozone.

USC California
Science Project The California
Science Project (CSP) was started in 1990 to train K-12
science teachers. The teacher training was done using problem-based
learning. Not only did teachers get to know the science
content areas using PBL, they also learned how PBL can be
used as a learning tool. They could then use PBL to instruct
students in their K-12 science classes.

Scaffolding
For Success In Problem-based Learning This paper
is authored by Tony Greening of The School of Information
Technology and Mathematical Sciences at the University of
Ballarat, Australia. It makes the point that although PBL
encourages student independence, the provision of an appropriate
support structure is critical for success.
