Teaching Children Science

This truncated, paperback volume is composed of strategies and techniques for teaching science derived from the fifth edition of Joseph Abruscato's successful text, Teaching Children Science: A Discovery Approach. The first nine chapters of Teaching Children Science are included in this new title to provide students with a discovery approach to promote the teaching of the concepts, skills, and attitudes of science in the classroom. These nine basic science teaching methods chapters cover strategies and techniques for teachers to incorporate cooperative learning, questioning and active listening in their classrooms. The author also covers planning and managing discovery-based units, assessing students' learning and understanding, the preparation of Internet-based Science WebQuests, and integrating science across the curriculum.
