Publications about the design of chemical thinking-based learning
The development of a learning progression to describe likely pathways in the evolution of students' chemical thinking is critical to designing formative assessments to best understand and advance students' chemical thinking. It is equally critical to map this progression to the practices that experience science teachers use in their science classrooms. Relevant publications about these topics are below.
