Critical Evaluation of Sources for STEM Projects
by Brianne Loya
This lesson is designed to help students learn how to critically evaluate sources of information, a crucial skill for conducting independent STEM projects. The lesson uses the Baloney Detection Kit and Establishing Credibility frameworks to guide students through evaluating the reliability and credibility of various sources. This is the 3rd lesson in a set of 4 in helping students to develop independent STEM projects. Encourage students to work on a cumulative project throughout the four lessons. This project could be an independent research project where students apply what they learn in each lesson to progressively build and refine their research.
