Publisher's Synopsis
This truncated, paperback volume is composed of strategies and methods to provide students with an inquiry approach to promote the teaching of the concepts, skills, and attitudes of science in the classroom.
Science for All Children: Methods for Constructing Understanding is derived from the successful third edition of Teaching Science for All Children by the same author team. The authors have taken their popular 4E Learning Cycle (Exploration, Explanation, Expansion, and Evaluation) teaching method and applied it throughout this edition with concept story lines. Continuing to incorporate the National Science Education Standards, the authors provide ways for future teachers to foster an awareness among their students of the nature of science. This books allows them to implement skills in the classroom using science inquiry processes and develop in their students an understanding of the interactions among science, technology, and society.
