Attend this session to “learn how to engage high school students with activities focusing on how chemicals found in the environment and everyday foods affect the brain, development, and behavior.”

Finally, on Saturday, April 13, Project NEURON presents “Incorporating the Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning Framework into an Engaging Computer Game and Project-based Science Curriculum Unit” from 12:30–1:30 PM in the Marriott Riverwalk, Alamo Salon C. Attend this session to learn how to “engage high school students through an interactive computer game that uses a claim, evidence, and reasoning assessment framework and traumatic brain injury as context.”
