Thinking about the Common Core state standards
I am the type of person who spends a lot of time thinking about projects. As an undergraduate chemistry major, I performed many “thought experiments” (to borrow the term credited to Galileo).

My lab partner always thought I was crazy for spending so much time and effort in thought; his approach was much more the “get out there and get messy” approach. H
