From the Back Cover

Teaching Science for All Children:

Inquiry Methods for Constructing Understanding, 4e

 

This truncated version of Teaching Science for All Children, now in its fourth edition, includes all of the research and strategies for teaching elementary science but omits the additional content lessons for each of the science disciplines. The methods chapters are identical to those in the larger text and feature the same “Engage, Explore, Explain, Expand, Evaluate” Learning Cycle Feature Lessons, alongside critical updates to NSE standards, explorations of new technology, and strategies for teaching in a diverse classroom. Authoritative coverage of science safety remains a hallmark of this well-respected text.

 

New to this edition:

• NSES and NETS icons in the margin indicate standards-related content.
• Revamped assessment chapter helps teachers see the connection between standardized tests, teacher assessment, and rubric development.
• Increased discussion of diversity and individual differences throughout the book prepares teachers to work with students in today’s changing classroom.
• Completely revamped technology chapter incorporates ISTE standards and guides teachers to select appropriate resources and media for their lessons.
• Learning Cycle Feature Lessons in the methods chapters now integrate photos and student work samples to enhance understanding and applications of the lesson. 

Also available in a comprehensive edition containing over 60 lessons!
