From the Back Cover

Intended for both pre-service and practicing teachers, Teaching Children Science provides elementary science methods, content, and activities using Abruscato's “discovery approach” presenting contemporary ideas in a motivating, engaging writing style that captivates future classroom teachers and enhances instruction in the science classroom.

New to This Edition:

With a renewed focus on the NSE content standards, this text provides clear direction of what teachers need to know to be prepared for the classroom.
Teaches students how to discuss the NSTA position statements on women in science education, multicultural science education, substance use and abuse, and science competitions.
Discusses the nature, impact, and treatment of bio terror (Ch. 14A).
Continued strength in pedagogy guides students' springboard into discovery. Features such as “A Look Ahead,” “Go Further,” “Quick Checks,” and “Demonstrations” provide students with tangible suggestions to bring into the classroom.

“This is an excellent resource for future teachers to have during their actual teaching.”
Professor Russell Agne, The University of Vermont

“Dr. Abruscato's writing style appeals to those who aspire to teach science as well as to those who have a desire to teach but are among the many who tend to be science shy.”
Professor Jim Dawson, Rochester College

Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish.
