Science is unique among the disciplines since it is inherently
hands-on. However, the hands-on nature of science instruction also
makes it uniquely challenging when teaching in virtual
environments. How do we, as science teachers, deliver high-quality
experiences to secondary students in an online environment that
leads to age/grade-level appropriate science content knowledge and
literacy, but also collaborative experiences in the inquiry process
and the nature of science? The expansion of online environments for
education poses logistical and pedagogical challenges for early
childhood and elementary science teachers and early learners.
Despite digital media becoming more available and ubiquitous and
increases in online spaces for teaching and learning (Killham et
al., 2014; Wong et al., 2018), PreK-12 teachers consistently report
feeling underprepared or overwhelmed by online learning
environments (Molnar et al., 2021; Seaman et al., 2018). This is
coupled with persistent challenges related to elementary teachers'
lack of confidence and low science teaching self-efficacy (Brigido,
Borrachero, Bermejo,%Mellado, 2013; Gunning%Mensah, 2011). Teaching
and Learning Online: Science for Secondary Grade Levels comprises
three distinct sections: Frameworks, Teacher's Journeys, and Lesson
Plans. Each section explores the current trends and the unique
challenges facing secondary teachers and students when teaching and
learning science in online environments. All three sections include
alignment with Next Generation Science Standards, tips and advice
from the authors, online resources, and discussion questions to
foster individual reflection as well as small group/classwide
discussion. Teacher's Journeys and Lesson Plan sections use the 5E
model (Bybee et al., 2006; Duran%Duran, 2004). Ideal for
undergraduate teacher candidates, graduate students, teacher
educators, classroom teachers, parents, and administrators, this
book addresses why and how teachers use online environments to
teach science content and work with elementary students through a
research-based foundation.
