Part of a series of texts, "Active Experiences for Active Children:
Science, Third Edition, " is unique to the market by providing a
theoretical foundation for teaching science to preschoolers and
primary-grade children alongside meaningful, standards-based,
constructivist, hands-on learning "experiences" to guide teachers
in their practice. Organized around the National Science Education
Standards and the Benchmarks for Science Literacy, the textconsists
of clear, concise, usable guides for planning meaningful learning
experiences in science for children in childcare settings,
preschool programs, Head Start and other federally funded programs,
and kindergarten. Primary-grade children should be engaged in
active experiential learning as well, and each experience is
extended to the early primary grades (grades 1-3). The experiences
in this book are meaningful because they: - are grounded in
children's interests and needs in their here-and-now world.- have
integrity in terms of content key to science.- involve children in
group work, investigations, or projects based on inquiry learning.-
have continuity: One experience builds on another, forming a
complete, coherent, integrated learning curriculum for young
children as well as connecting the early childhood setting to
children's homes and communities. - provide time and opportunity
for children to think and reflect on their experiences.- provide
the teacher with the opportunity to document and assess children's
learning. Organized to address a variety of audiences, the text is
formatted in two parts: Part One offers a foundation for young
children and science; Part Two offers thematic based units full of
resources for teachers, teacher strategies, and inquiry-based
experiences for children. The content has been expanded in the
third edition to include a new chapter on engaging children with
the natural world (Chapter 14), references to the most recent
reports on science education from the National Academies, updated
and expanded lists of books and Web sites for children and adults,
and new activities. This highly- readable, user-friendly series
text is formatted with an engaging, conversational style that will
connect and resonate with its varied readers.
