Science Beyond the Classroom
Taking science education beyond the classroom provides learning opportunities and experiences for students that just are not available within school walls, and Science Beyond the Classroom has a wealth of ideas on how to do it successfully. These carefully selected articles from the NSTA journals Science Scope and Science and Children were gathered into a compendium because of the value of informal science education in providing access to those experiences and in tapping into student interests.
The NSTA Ready-reference Guide to Safer Science
This is a compendium of 39 Scope on Safety columns from Science Scope, NSTA's member journal for middle schools. As a science educator, you know the importance of using best safety practices to protect your students physically during hands-on science instruction. But do you know how to protect yourself legally even in aging facilities and crowded labs? Learn the regulations and how to apply them with this clear, easy-to-use guide to both safety practices and legal standards.
STEM Student Research Handbook
A comprehensive resource for high school teachers and students, STEM Student Research Handbook outlines the various stages of large- scale research projects, enabling teachers to coach their students through the research process.
Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices
When it’s time for a game change, you need a guide to the new rules. Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices provides a play-by-play understanding of the practices strand of A Framework for K–12 Science Education (Framework) and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Written in clear, nontechnical language, this book provides a wealth of real-world examples to show you what’s different about practice-centered teaching and learning at all grade levels. The book addresses three important questions: 1. How will engaging students in science and engineering practices help improve science education? 2. What do the eight practice...
Uncovering Student Ideas in Science: 25 formative assessment probes
V. 1. Physical science assessment probes -- Life, Earth, and space science assessment probes.
NSTA Tool Kit for Teaching Evolution
This pulls together historical facts, scientific data, legal precedent, and other invaluable information. Biology and life science teachers will appreciate this resource for its ability to help cover a relevant issue with depth and pedagogical support.
NSTA Guide to School Science Facilities
The National Science Teachers Association, in response to the emergence of new science curricula and the need for updated science facilities in the nation's public schools, convened a task force to develop guidelines for K-12 science facility design and use. This guide, a result of NSTA Task Force on Science Facilities and Equipment, includes information about planning facilities design; budget priorities; space considerations; general room and laboratory design; and furnishings for the laboratory/classroom specifically targeting K-5, middle, and high schools. It is designed to familiarize educators, administrators, and citizens with the stages of the planning process for new and renovated science facilities and provides specific, detailed information on many aspects of the planning and design phases. Additionally, chapters address current trends and future directions in science education and safety, accessibility, and legal guidelines. Appendices include discussions on solar energy for school facilities, equipment needs planning, checklists, a glossary of construction terms, and classroom dimensional considerations. (GR)
Favorite Demonstrations for College Science
Peer-reviewed, classroom-tested, and tailored specifically for introductory science courses, Favourite Demonstrations is an essential complement to every college instructor's lesson plans. The book is an all-in-one compilation of 36 popular classroom demonstrations published since 1993 in the "Favorite Demonstration" column of NSTA's Journal of College Science Teaching. The collection begins with a chapter on safety, "The Rules of Research." From there, chapters emphasize conveying scientific principles while making them memorable. The demonstations cover general science, biology, chemistry, Earth science, and physics while many illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of science by showing how the various subjects contribute to each other's knowledge base. Most are simple to prepare; use low-cost, readily available materials; and can be repeated throughout the day for back-to-back classes.
A Head Start on Science
For the littlest scientists, the whole wide world can be a laboratory for learning. Nurture their natural curiosity with A Head Start on Science, a treasury of 89 hands-on science activities specifically for children ages 3 to 6. The activities are grouped into seven stimulating topic areas: the five senses, weather, physical science, critters, water and water mixture, seeds, and nature walks.
The NSTA Ready-Reference Guide to Safer Science, Vol 2
Safer science is a daily requirement for every teacher in every science classroom and laboratory. Get up-to-date information from The NSTA Ready-Reference Guide to Safer Science, Volume 2. This second volume is a collection of more than 40 of the latest quick-read Scope on Safety columns from Science Scope, NSTAOCOs middle school journal (plus some adaptable Safer Science columns from The Science Teacher, NSTAOCOs high school journal). As easy to read as it is practical, the book is chock-full of safety information, anecdotes, and advisories you can use every day."
