A bullet dropped and a bullet fired from a gun will reach the
ground at the same time. Plants get the majority of their mass from
the air around them, not the soil beneath them. A smartphone is
made from more elements than you. Every day, science teachers get
the opportunity to blow students' minds with counter-intuitive,
crazy ideas like these. But getting students to understand and
remember the science that explains these observations is complex.
To help, this book explores how to plan and teach science lessons
so that students and teachers are thinking about the right things -
that is, the scientific ideas themselves. It introduces you to 13
powerful ideas of science that have the ability to transform how
young people see themselves and the world around them. Each chapter
tells the story of one powerful idea and how to teach it alongside
examples and non-examples from biology, chemistry and physics to
show what great science teaching might look like and why. Drawing
on evidence about how students learn from cognitive science and
research from science education, the book takes you on a journey of
how to plan and teach science lessons so students acquire
scientific ideas in meaningful ways. Emphasising the important
relationship between curriculum, pedagogy and the subject itself,
this exciting book will help you teach in a way that captivates and
motivates students, allowing them to share in the delight and
wonder of the explanatory power of science.
