In this interactive workshop, participants will engage with the PEER Physics Waves unit. PEER Physics offers a suite of curricular resources, professional learning, and teacher networks, specifically geared toward the high school general physics classroom and enacting NGSS ideals. We are releasing open source (FREE!) materials for teaching waves, aligned with the NGSS. Dive into these new resources while considering ways of supporting students with the process of building claims from evidence. Participants will engage with student work to ultimately characterize the classroom conditions necessary for students to build claims and develop models from evidence. Participants will discuss their roles in helping students integrate physics content and scientific practices as they develop models, explanations, and principles that explain the physical world.
