About this title

Synopsis

Organized around the four key areas of the learning cycle—Exploration, Explanation, Expansion, and Evaluation—the fourth edition continues to integrate the National Science Education Standards throughout. It provides methods for future teachers to foster awareness among their students of the nature of science; to implement skills in the classroom using science inquiry processes; and to develop in their students an understanding of the interactions among science, technology, and society.

From the Back Cover

“I think that this book is the best that is presently on the market.”
Barbara Rasco, State University of New York at Buffalo

The Fourth Edition of Teaching Science For All Children: An Inquiry Approach emphasizes learning science through inquiry even more than in past editions, while maintaining it's focus on NSE standards integration, constructivism, technology, and the authors' 4-E Learning Cycle: Explore, Explain, Expand, Evaluate.
