A host of activities has the potential to
engage students in thinking, problem solving
and construction of meaning, including but
not limited to, "small group discussions,
cooperative learning tasks, independent
research projects, use of hands-on
manipulatives, scientific equipment,
arts/crafts materials, use of computer and
video technology, community-based projects
such as surveys, oral histories, and service
learning" (Newman, 1995, p. 1).
