Preservice and novice teachers feeling jittery will find this book full of workable strategies for helping students experience the wonders of science. Classroom veterans will discover new ideas, and science educators will learn how colleagues pass on the art of good teaching. Teaching Teachers, thirteen articles, culled from the "Teaching Teachers" section of NSTA's award winning journal, Science and Education were written within the spirit of the National Science Education Standards by leading college educators.

Teaching Teachers: Bringing First-Rate Science to the Elementary Classroom

The articles explore all aspects of getting ready for a science fair. You'll learn how to help students pick their projects, understand what makes for fair judging, and create innovative alternatives. Highly practical and wide-ranging, Science Fairs may be the only guide you'll ever need to run successful fairs at your school.

This must-have tool for applying the Standards in real classrooms has been fully revised for 21st century high schools. Of course, the best parts haven t changed! Our top-selling practical guide still demonstrates how you can bring to life the vision of the Standards for teaching, professional development, assessment, content, programs, and school systems. Throughout the book you ll learn ways to form productive partnerships for reform, inside and outside your building, with other education stakeholders. Several added features make this edition even more valuable. A new 14-page appendix offers practical suggestions for engaging a diverse student body (especially those with physical and learning disabilities) in high-quality science education. Titled Science for All: Including Each Student, the appendix provides concrete strategies for supporting all students by making information resources available in multiple formats and having assistive technology available. It also suggests professional development routes to learning how to create accessible learning environments, use materials and technology that are accessible to everyone, develop strategies to address diverse student needs, and perform informal and formal assessment. In addition, all of the book s resource lists have been updated with articles and books through 2003. SciLinks have been added throughout to ensure up-to-date Web resources. And thanks to an inviting new design, NSTA Pathways is even more reader friendly.

From feet to color to teeth, animals have many special structures that help them survive. These physical characteristics help them move, find food, and protect themselves. Animal Adaptations allows children to use their powers of observation to compare the physical characteristics of animals in figure out how the characteristics help the animals survive in their environments. Children also explore how changes to an environment affect the ability of animals to survive. Animal Adaptations is based on the interactive e-book, I Live Where I Live Because.

Resources for Environmental Literacy offers a fresh way to enhance your classroom productivity. The environmental context it provides can improve your students science learning even as learning the science improves their ability to deal with five real-world topics: Biodiversity Genetically modified crops Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis Global climate change Radioactive waste But this resource doesn t encourage students to take a particular stand on these subjects. Instead, it builds skills in critical thinking and analytical reasoning about complex issues. For ease of teaching, each of the book s modules includes such useful features as: Student learning goals based on Benchmarks for Science Literacy and the Standards Background content for teachers, organized into sets of essential questions such as What is a species? and What is the science involved in the genetic engineering of crops? with answers you can draw on when guiding students. A suggested teaching approach, including misconceptions to watch out for and assessments to use. Student activities and materials you can adapt to your classroom needs. Resources for Environmental Literacy is designed especially for teachers of middle school life science and physical science as well as high school Earth science, biology, and physics. The modules offer appropriate teaching strategies plus high-quality resources to deepen your students understanding of key environmental topics.

Resources for Environmental Literacy: Five Teaching Modules for Middle and High School Teachers

Biological Sciences

Scientists have discovered that a large number of species are becoming extinct. What are the consequences of this decreasing biodiversity for us humans and for our planet? This module examines biodiversity through key concepts such as how relationships among species influence an overall system, what affects the extinction has had on Earth through its history, and how to use fossil records to study species that are now extinct.

Biodiversity

Most scientists believe that Earth's climate is changing and in fact heating up. However, they don't all agree about the rate of change, the extent of the impact on our environment, or what can or should be done about it. This module is based on the premise that understanding what influences Earth's energy balance is necessary (though not sufficient) to make sound decisions about climate change. Among the key concepts: how weather and climate relate to transfer of energy in and out of Earth's atmosphere, and how human activities have changed Earth's land, oceans, and atmosphere.

Earth Sciences

Thinking of powerful natural events like volcanic eruptions and tsunamis only as hazards undervalues their importance in our lives. This module suggests taking a case study approach featuring Vesuvius of 75 AD, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, and the South Asian tsunami of 2004 to learn about earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as players in the dynamic system that has shaped the environment of Earth s surface throughout history. Key concepts include the components of Earth's systems, the hazards that volcanoes and earthquakes present, and how to reduce the risks associated with them.
