Description
For Elementary and/or Middle School science methods courses.
Packed with the science content future teachers must know, and based on the premise that integrated learning by inquiry is the cornerstone of effective science teaching, the new edition of this classic again focuses on the four developmental components of both teaching and learning-the why, what, how, and how well of teaching. Unique to this text are complete content outlines covering the big ideas of life, earth, and phyisical science. Teachers can use these outlines and sequence concepts to build science units with an assurance they will be complete.
