Feedback Survey
This presentation examines the connections between inquiry in South Carolina’s science standards (particularly the science and engineering practices) and inquiry in the new South Carolina Social Studies College- and Career-Ready Standards (2020) in order to help classroom teachers consider ways to maximize the time allotted for science and social studies. Each set of standards begins with questions, uses disciplinary skills and evidence for investigation, and results in evidence-based solutions and arguments created by students. By drawing attention to these connections, participants who may be more versed in inquiry in science will begin to see that the new social studies standards use many of the same thinking skills as the science standards.

The connections between science and social studies are not limited to skills, however. By illuminating how scientific study and practice have evolved over time, participants will see how they can use historical figures to help students see the impact that scientific research has on the nation and the world. By investigating the historical context in which various scientists worked and lived, students can gain a greater appreciation for how circumstances can drive creativity and provide innovation.
