Turn Common Misconceptions Into Unforgettable Science Lessons

Poster Session

Science misconceptions can take hold because they seem logical or appealing, even when there is little evidence to support them. Join Joe to explore common misconceptions and how scientific practices and a skeptical mindset can turn these ideas into opportunities for engaging, memorable science lessons.
