About this title

Synopsis

Sure, you teach science. But do your students really learn it? Students of all ages will absorb more if you adapt the way you teach to the way they learn. That's the message of this thoughtful collection of 12 essays by noted science teachers. Based on the latest research, this is definitely a scholarly book. But to bring theories to life, it includes realistic scenarios featuring classrooms where students are encouraged to construct their own science learning.

These scenarios will give you specific ideas on how to help your students become more reflective about their learning process, including what they know, what their stumbling blocks are, and how to overcome them. You'll also examine how to use formative assessment to gauge student learning during the course of a lesson, not just at the end.

Learning Science offers inspiration to all the weary teachers who've ever wondered: Why don't these kids seem to get what I'm trying to say?

Review

A Part of Coursework. This book provided concise information and insightful remarks on key topics written by a variety of experts. It was used as required reading for a science and assessment course required in a Master's of Education program. --Reviewed by: Rhulene A (Milwaukee, WI) on July 15, 2008

Excellent source. I read this book for my science teaching methods course in graduate school. It is filled with excellent points and is very easy to read. --Reviewed by: Anne (Turners Falls, MA) on November 1, 2007
