Comics in the Classroom: What's at the Center of the Solar System?
Hennig, Amee Jeanette; Whitworth, Brooke A.; MacPherson, Allison Huff
Science Teacher, v87 n6 p37-43 Feb 2020
At the Center for Integrated Access Networks (CIAN), an Engineering Research Center funded from 2008-2018 by the National Science Foundation, the education department worked to develop new and innovative digital resources to engage students in learning science content. One resource created, the CIAN Comic Book, focuses on educating students about optics, technology, and scientific discovery, and is well-aligned with the "Next Generation Science Standards" ("NGSS"). This article suggests one way to utilize the CIAN digital comic book by incorporating it in an Argument Driven Inquiry (ADI) lesson. The CIAN Comic Book in combination with effective instructional models, like ADI, presents an opportunity to incorporate technology in the classroom, engage students through a medium of their interest, and implement the most up-to-date educational lesson plan models in a new way.
