Observing and listening to children while they inquire into the physical sciences is difficult. There’s lots to see and hear, but unless you know what to look and listen for, you might only see a noisy blur of activity. Seeing the Science in Children’s Thinking is a field guide to the science classroom with authentic examples presented in written and video form. It’s a great way for staff developers to train teachers’ eyes and ears to pick up the analysis and ideas of students as they occur in the wild of classroom conversations. Evidence of children’s scientific thinking is all around the classroom, but it takes a skilled teacher to locate it. With Seeing the Science in Children’s Thinking your teachers can sharpen their senses, discover a wealth of information about how their students approach science, and create instruction that’s individualized and responsive

The Book of Jasher covers many of the same events as the first books of the Bible, but adds many details lacking in the Biblical accounts. This edition was originally published in Salt Lake City, in 1887 and is "faithfully translated from the original Hebrew into english." There is much controversy concerning the origins and authenticity of the Book of Jasher.

Jasher

No one would find it strange to see a geologist poring at length over a single rock, or an entomologist over a moth, or botanist over a leaf. Examining a specimen closely can help scientists develop new understandings. That s just what we hope to achieve in poring over moments of student thinking. from Becoming a Responsive Science Teacher When you begin a new unit and discover that some students don t understand an important concept, do you just correct the error and give them the answer? If so, you run the risk that students will memorize what you say without changing their core misconceptions. This thoughtful book explores how to identify such moments through responsive listening and turn them into opportunities to build students science literacy. In the process, you just may transform your approach to classroom teaching. To help you make the shift, Becoming a Responsive Science Teacher offers: A philosophical framework for understanding the beginnings of scientific thinking in high school students. Five real-life case studies, four of which are captured on videos and accompanying transcripts stored on the NSTA website. Suggestions for how to use the case studies to practice recognizing, interpreting, and responding to the vital nuances of your own students thinking in real time. Advice on next steps, including how to overcome systemic impediments and maintain your focus on student thinking. Becoming a Responsive Science Teacher is ideal for teacher educators as well as current and preservice teachers. The book holds out the promise that when you consciously strive to help students work through their ideas about science, the result can be more effective instruction from you and much deeper understanding for your students.
