Forty classroom-ready science teaching and learning activities for elementary and middle school teachers

Grounded in theory and best-practices research, this practical text provides elementary and middle school teachers with 40 place-based activities that will help them to make science learning relevant to their students. This text provides teachers with both a rationale and a set of strategies and activities for teaching science in a local context to help students engage with science learning and come to understand the importance of science in their everyday lives.

Arvustused

I would very likely use this book for my course - as previously stated, its easy reading. Activities are simple for studentsIts a win-win situation for all teachers and students. -- Carolyn Cyriaque
