ABOUT THIS TITLE - DESCRIPTION | |
The Fifth Edition of this popular
elementary science methods text emphasizes learning science through
inquiry, implementation of the Learning Cycle, NSE standards,
constructivism, technology, and strategies for teaching diverse
learners.
Teaching Science for All Children
employs an inquiry model throughout, especially apparent in the
design of its learning cycle lesson plans. Engaging Questions,
Exploration, Explanation, Expansion, and Evaluation make up the
“Es” of this modern learning cycle based on the model
first invented by Robert Karplus as part of the Science Curriculum
Improvement Study in the 1960s. The text provides methods for
future teachers to foster awareness and understanding among their
students of the nature of science; to construct understandings of
and connections between various science content; to encourage
application of science inquiry processes in the classroom; and to
develop their students’ understanding of the interactions
between science, technology, and society. The final sections
of the book incorporate Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth
and Space Science lessons as a means to convey important
pedagogical content knowledge and ideas to implement in the
elementary classroom.
