Practicum. The adjunct scientist will participate actively in a week and

knowledge on the practice of science. MAT candidates meet this objective
through expeditions into the field, investigations in laboratory settings,
and engagement in secondary research methods. The practicum exposes students
to key concepts, scientific questions, tools, and techniques, and enables
candidates to experience and implement learning activities that align with
state and national standards. Practices include: 1) Asking Questions; 2)
Modeling; 3) Devising Testable Hypotheses; 4) Collecting, Analyzing, and
Interpreting Data; 5) Constructing and Critiquing Arguments; 6)
Communicating and Interpreting Scientific and Technical Texts; and 7)
