Researchers from BNU, Oxford University, Princeton University and AAAS wrote the teaching plan together.
The plan helps educators, undergraduates, and high school students understand the content of research in the scientific literature with annotations and accompanying teaching materials. The annotations include vocabulary, methodology, descriptions of previous studies, and explanations of key conclusions. It provides an overview of the link between STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning framework and scientific competencies, and suggestions for interactive activities, discussions, and learning resources to further explore the topic.
