From the Publisher

For instructors who prefer to generate their own activities, coverage addresses the vital role played by science in the elementary school curriculum, and gives students the background they need to present science in a way that effectively conveys its importance. Students learn to decide what science is basic, useful, and learnable for children; how to recognize and assess differences in children's thinking; how to use closed-ended and open-ended activities; how to locate and use a variety of resources to teach science; and how to organize and evaluate science teaching.
