Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This essential science methods resource integrates principles of learning and motivation with practical teaching ideas for the elementary and middle school science classroom. It employs project-based learning (PBL) to enable educators to engage their students in meaningful, real-world questioning about the world. It provides concrete strategies for meeting the Framework for K–12 Science Education. Chapters offer examples of project-based lessons to help teachers support children in varying modes of inquiry, such as asking critical questions, designing investigations, constructing models, and developing evidence-based explanations.

Features in the Sixth Edition include:

• Instruction on using PBL to make connections to Common Core Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts
• An increased attention to assessment for learning
• A focus on three-dimensional learning.

This book is ideal for pre-service and in-service elementary and middle school science and STEM teachers and is designed for use in related methods courses or professional learning opportunities.
