Abstract: Cognetics provides an exciting cooperative learning experience for students that develops both thinking skills and content knowledge. In Cognetics, teams of students in grades 3 to 12 create solutions to problems. This set contains a student manual and a teacher's manual. The teacher's manual explains the concept of cognetics and then provides advice on training students in the following: (1) Problem-Solving Steps; (2) Brainstorming; (3) Solution Inhibitors; (4) Developing Questions; and (5) Practice Activities. Both manuals contain student activities in the following areas: (1) Inventions/Technology problems; and (2) Science Problems. The appendix includes sample challenge questions. (PR)
