: ACTIVITIES, PROJECTS, AND PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING

 Activities  build skills and knowledge  Projects  hone skills in teamwork, mathematics, science, software, time management, and communication  Problems  Students doing authentic real-world work.

 Learning is contextual, not disjointed series of concepts.

 Students work in teams.  Expectations are clearly articulated to students 

Problems have unpredictable results
