**About the Session** Join Tuva and the NSTA Professional Learning Team for a deep dive into how data can be authentically integrated into the eight science and engineering practices. In this interactive 2-12 session, attendees will explore strategies and tools that position students as the drivers of sensemaking and deepen their use of data. Through grade-band breakout groups (2-5 and 6-12), educators will engage with data-rich tasks and instructional routines tailored to the unique needs of students at different grade levels, leaving with practical approaches to bring back to their classrooms. **Key Takeaways** * Develop a deeper understanding of the role of data across all eight science and engineering practices. * Experience and analyze data-rich tasks that engage students in multiple science and engineering practices. * Identify instructional moves that position students as the drivers of sensemaking through the use of data.
