From NAS:

Centering science instruction around investigation and design can improve learning in middle and high schools and help students make sense of phenomena in the world around them.  Current approaches to science in many classrooms do not reflect this approach and constrain the opportunities afforded to students, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Changing instructional approaches will require significant and sustained work by teachers, administrators, and policy makers, the report says.
