Inhaltsangabe

This compact, paperback volume provides preservice teachers with STRATEGIES AND METHODS of teaching science in the K-8 classroom using Inquiry.

The authors integrate the NSE standards, constructivism, and technology, into their popular “E” approach to teaching. Exploration, Explanation, Expansion, and Evaluation make up the 4 “E's” of the learning cycle model first invented by Robert Karplus as part of the Science Curriculum Improvement Study in the 1960s. Teaching Science for All Children: Inquiry Methods for Constructing Understanding 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.
