Book Description
Science is a quest for explanations. This popular text continues to encourage teachers to help their students learn through discovery, while also providing content on the latest techniques in science teaching. This edition has been thoroughly revised and features a new co-author, Dr. Donald DeRosa of Boston University and a larger trim size and paperback binding for a fresher, more open feel. The book continues to use its well-regarded pedagogy to help students to learn science. They are: A Look Ahead-topics to be discussed in the chapter Make the Case-A reflective exercise that can be done individually or as a group. Summary-A review of the main ideas in the chapter. Going Further-Learning activities for further study Resources for Discovery Learning-A listing of websites, books, and articles for further reference. This establishes a solid foundation in science pedagogy upon which they can build in later years. The 5 E''s of Learning and Universal Design for Learning have been added to this edition and every chapter correlates to the NSE Content Standards. A new chapter on using technology in the classroom continues to build on the authors'' belief that technology can enhance learning in the science classroom. The new package includes links to video and web resources on the MyEducationLab website. New To This Edition: NEW! Features a new co-author in this edition-Dr. Donald DeRosa of Boston University. NEW! A new paperback binding and larger 8 1⁄2'''' x 11'''' trim size gives the book a fresher and more open feel. NEW! Includes a new chapter (Chapter 8) Using Technology to Enhance Science Learning. NEW! Gives an increased focus on technology/multimedia, engineering, and energy conservation-Includes a new Part IV on The Technological Sciences and more earth-friendly and "green" science activities in this edition. NEW! Fully integrated package--Each chapter correlates to video and web resources within the MyEducationLab website. The MyLab series from Pearson offers innovative homework, student assessment, and multimedia instructional tools designed to enrich the learning experience and improve course outcomes. With detailed gradebook and customization options, instructors can easily monitor student progress and save valuable time. NEW! Includes The 5 E''s Learning Cycle--The 5 E''s learning cycle is an instructional design model that presents a framework for constructivist learning theories that can be effectively used in teaching science. Engage--The task is introduced. Using connections to past learning, demonstrations of an event, and asking pointed questions, the teacher can spark the students'' interest right away. Explore-While the teacher facilitates, students take part in hands-on activities that allow them to work with materials. Questioning, sharing and communication with other learners should be encouraged during this stage. Explain-Here the focus is on analysis. Students are encouraged to put observations, questions, hypotheses, and experiences into language. Communication between students and groups will aid student learning. Again, the teacher is the facilitator, leading discussions, asking questions, giving definitions, of helping students find the right words to describe their experiences. Elaborate/Extend--Now students should be encouraged build and expand upon what they have learned so far, making deductions and inferences. They can apply what they have learned to real world situations. Evaluate--Evaluation should be ongoing and should occur at all stages, in order to determine that learning objectives have been met. The teacher can use any assessment tool that they deem appropriate. At this time the teacher should encourage further study that builds upon what has been learned. NEW! Universal Design for Learning will be incorporated in Chapter 9 Adapting the Science Curriculum-- Universal design is an approach to designing course instruction, materials, and content to benefit students of all learning styles. Universal design provides equal access to learning, not simply equal access to information. This design model allows the student to control the method of accessing information while the teacher monitors the learning process and initiates any beneficial methods. Although this design enables the student to be self-sufficient, the teacher is still responsible for imparting knowledge and facilitating the learning process. The classroom becomes a positive learning experience for all students while minimizing the appearance that special accommodations are being made for any individual student. NEW! Reorganizes Parts II through IV to be more reader-friendly--The "A" and "B" subchapters of the previous edition will be broken out into content chapters and activities chapters. NEW! Teaches novice instructors how to differentiate among good and bad science kits and how to utilize them effectively in the classroom.

Book Description
Exploring Science in Early Childhood makes teaching a basic understanding of science skills to young people more achievable and successful than ever. In using this book to teach future educators, such top universities as Harvard recognize that the activities and applications presented in developmental sequence strongly support children learning. When put into practice, the approaches espoused in this edition will enable children to construct the concepts and skills imperative for learning a basic understanding of science. The same and skills also play an importance role in understanding mathematics and are closely related to reading and reading comprehension skills. Developed in cooperation with teachers at each developmental level, the concepts, skills, and instructional strategies are aligned with national standards in science, principles and standards for mathematics, and early childhood standards.

Book Description
"This revision of a very successful science methods text includes coverage of methods, activities, and science content. "Teaching Children Science" presents current ideas about teaching children science in a motivating, engaging style that will positively draw students towards the teaching of science to young children." There are nine basic science teaching methods chapters and three potentially free standing parts that focus respectively on how to teach Earth/Space, Life and Physical Science content. Each of these three parts has a lesson and unit plan, followed by chapters that provide science content and chapters that contain activities and demonstrations for children. Through its structure, writing style, and attention to contemporary issues, this volume serves as an important resource in teaching students to create science experiences within the context of discovery learning; thereby, providing students with the necessary skills and knowledge to fully comprehend that they will be teaching children science, not the other way around." For readers with an interest in science and, perhaps, drawing children to the teaching of science as a career choice.

Book Description
Children arrive in their science classrooms with their own ideas and interpretations of the phenomena they are to study even when they have received no systematic instruction in these subjects whatsoever. These ideas and interpretations are a natural result of everyday experience - of practical physical activities, of talking with other people, and of the media. This book documents and explores the ideas of school students (aged 10-16) about a range of natural phenomena such as light, heat, force and motion, the structure of matter and electricity. It also examines how students' conceptions change and develop with teaching. The editors have brought together science educators who come from different parts of the work but whose work is focused on the same determination to bring insight into the conceptual world of children in science classrooms - insight which will be helpful in making science teaching and learning more rewarding for teachers and children alike.

Book Description
Teaching Science to Every Child proposes a fresh perspective for teaching school science and draws upon an extensive body of classroom research to meaningfully address the achievement gap in science education. Settlage and Southerland begin from the point of view that science can be thought of as a culture, rather than as a fixed body of knowledge. Throughout this book, the idea of culture is used to illustrate how teachers can guide all students to be successful in science while still being respectful of students' ethnic heritages and cultural traditions. By combining a cultural view of science with instructional approaches shown to be effective in a variety of settings, the authors provide elementary and middle school teachers with a conceptual framework as well as pedagogical approaches which support the science learning of a diverse array of students.
