MODELING DESIGNS FOR LEARNING SCIENCE - MoDeLS

The MoDeLS project (Modeling Designs for Learning Science) is large, multi-site project. The project is concered with developing a theoretically-grounded and empirically-supported learning progression for late elementary and early middle school students with regard to their modeling practices and metamodeling knowledge.

MoDeLS is funded by the National Science Foundation's Instructional Materials Development program.
