Science for All Children: Lessons for Constructing Understanding

Gerlovich, Jack A.

In Teaching Science for All Children, the authors provide ways for future teachers to foster an awareness among their students of the nature of science by continuing to integrate the National Science Education Standards throughout this edition. The authors have taken their popular 4E Learning Cycle teaching method from Part III in the second edition and applied it throughout this edition. The chapters are now organized around these four key areas of the learning cycle: Exploration, Explanation, Expansion, and Evaluation. This book also promotes implementing skills using the science inquiry processes, and developing an understanding of the interactions among science, technology, and society. For science teachers.
