Abstract
This chapter explores the extent to which project‐based science (PBS) curricula designed with supports for students' inquiry into complex scientific data can help urban students make sense of such data and promote their deep understanding of standards‐based content. We review qualitative and quantitative data from classroom enactments of a PBS high school biology curriculum called Disease Detectives.
