Teaching Science in Elementary and Middle School integrates
principles of learning and motivation with practical teaching ideas
for implementing them. Paralleling what scientists do,
project-based learning (PBL) represents the essence of inquiry and
the nature of science, and engages children and teachers in
investigating meaningful, real-world questions about the world
around them. This text provides concrete strategies on teaching
using a project-based approach and on meeting the principles in A
Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation
Science Standards (NGSS). Features include strategies for planning
long-term, interdisciplinary, student-centered units; scenarios to
help readers situate new experiences; and a wealth of supplementary
material on the Companion Website. Features in the Fifth Edition:
Integrates research-based findings from the National Research
Council's Taking Science to School, A Framework for K-12 Science
Education, and NGSS to engage learners and help them make sense of
phenomena in using disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering
practices, and crosscutting concepts Gives attention to cultural
diversity throughout the chapters, with an added focus on working
with English Language Learners Describes how to develop and use
assessments that require students to make use of their knowledge to
solve problems or explain phenomena Illustrates how to use PBL to
make connections to Common Core Standards for Mathematics and
English Language Arts Provides examples of project-based lessons
and projects to illustrate how teachers can support children in
engaging in scientific and engineering practices, such as asking
questions, designing investigations, constructing models and
developing evidence-based explanation
