Experimental design may be considered an essential learning objective of undergraduate science education. This skill not only requires learners to be able to identify novel questions, generate hypotheses, create experimental models, and anticipate data outcomes but also demands that students are able to effectively transfer and apply knowledge from previous learning experiences to novel contexts. Here, I describe a team-based activity for upper-level undergraduate science courses that aims to strengthen students' skills in experimental design and transfer of knowledge. Instructional resources are provided to facilitate straightforward application in courses of diverse science disciplines and delivery modes.
实验设计可被视为本科科学教育的一项重要学习目标。这项技能不仅要求学习者能够识别新问题、提出假设、创建实验模型并预测数据结果，还要求学生能够有效地将先前学习经验中的知识转移并应用到新情境中。在此，我描述了一项针对本科高年级科学课程的基于团队的活动，旨在加强学生在实验设计和知识转移方面的技能。提供了教学资源，以方便在不同科学学科和授课模式的课程中直接应用。
