Description
This truncated, paperback volume is composed of lessons, activities, and teaching materials to meet the goals of elementary and middle school science.
Science for All Children: Lessons for Constructing Understanding is derived from Part IV of the successful third edition of Teaching Science for All Children. Intended for both preservice and practicing teachers, the text provides a wealth of lessons and activities that follow the learning cycle. The two introductory chapters provide information on the learning cycle, specifically the 4 "E"s - exploration, explanation, expansion, and evaluation - and on science safety, as well as how to integrate educational technology tools into each of the lessons. Each lesson is then matched to specific grade levels according to the National Science Education Standards.
