More than 130 activity ideas - growing crystals, launching water rockets, testing a light dimmer, mapping elevations, testing soil - prompt students to make eye-opening discoveries in biology, chemistry, earth science, environmental science, and physics. Each activity ends by citing other related activities in the book. A special "more for less" section provides tips for getting and making scientific materials at bargain prices, and all activities are indexed by skills and subject areas. Grades K-8. Index. Conversion tables. Illustrated. Good Year Books. 306 pages. Third Edition.
Reflecting the very latest theory on diversity issues in science education, including new dialogic approaches, this volume explores the subject from a range of perspectives and draws on studies from around the world. The work discusses fundamental topics such as how we conceptualize diversity as well as examining the ways in which heterogeneous cultural constructs influence the teaching and learning of science in a range of contexts. Including numerous strategies ready for adoption by interested teachers, the book addresses the varied cultural factors that influence engagement with science education. It seeks answers to the question of why increasing numbers of students fail to connect with science education in schools and looks at the more subtle impact that students’ individually constructed identities have on the teaching and learning of science. Recognizing the diversity of its audience, the book covers differing levels and science subjects, and examines material from a range of viewpoints that include pedagogy, curricula, teacher education, learning, gender, religion, and ICT, as well as those of in-service and trainee teachers at all levels.
SCHOOLWISE is a parent's guide from first grade through hish school. As a parent and former teacher I know parents who speak up and work together can learn to deal with school problems. Among parent's you'll meet in SCHOOLWISE are those who got rid of an incompetent teacher, though the principle did nothing; and other parnts who persuaded their school to discard ineffective reading and math programs and adopt programs proven to help children succeed. "Brown, a former teacher, offers a common-sense approach for seeing that children get the best from any school system...A book full of 'sure to get results' advise." --Library Journal SCHOOLWISE opened my eyes to so many vital things and make me feel really comfortable in speaking out about school problems." --Vera C. Klinger, parent and entrepreneur

This book targets students who are going to be K-12 teachers and points out the responsibilities that both science and education faculty members face. These responsibilities not only include providing fundamental information and skills related to teaching, but also mentoring teachers to reflect their understanding. The National Science Education Standards specifically address grades K-12; however, these standards have a great significance for higher education in that they also address systematic issues of teacher preparation and professional development. This document discusses ways in which the Standards are meaningful to higher education. Chapters 1 and 3 focus on the teaching and assessment standards. Chapter 2 concerns professional development standards. Chapter 4 addresses content standards. Chapter 5 discusses science education program standards. Chapter 6 describes the science education system standards. (YDS)
