Book excerpt: This fascinating book is dedicated "to those teachers who want to put some excitement in their teaching," & the infectious enthusiasm of its author, a leading educator of science teachers, is evident on every page. Specifically designed & written for elementary, junior high, & senior high science teachers, "Invitations to Science Inquiry" is a collection of 411 carefully selected & tested "discrepant events." Discrepant events are surprising, counterintuitive, & paradoxical phenomena. Liem's discrepant events are simple & ingenious demonstrations for the teacher & activities for the student that can initiate or reinforce the teaching & learning of a wide range of scientific concepts. The book, is broad in scope, covering such topics as the environment, the properties of air, factors influencing the weather, characteristics of matter, the behavior of chemicals in our daily lives, energy, static & current electricity, the properties of sound & light, space & living things. Each event is self-contained on its own page & includes a list of materials, a lucid step-by-step procedure, a series of provocative questions, an explanation, & in one or more clear sketches. A 19-page introduction deals in great detail with the psychological background of the successful science teacher, & a useful 7-page index concludes this highly recommended volume.

Book excerpt: Biology teachers, you're in luck, BSCS (Biological Sciences Curriculum Study) presents a wealth of current information in this new, updated editon of the classic The Biology Teachers's Handbook. No matter the depth of your experience, gain insight into what constitutes good teaching, how to guide students through inquiry at varying levels, and how to create a culture of inquiry in your classroom using science notebooks and other strategies. In addition, learn tactics for including controversial subjects in your courses, promoting scientific discussion, and choosing the right materials, information that would benefit the teacher of any subject. BSCS experts have packed this volume with the latest, most valuable teaching ideas and guidelines. Their suggestions include designing your courses around five questions, all answered in the book's five sections: What are the goals of the program for my students and me? How can I help students understand the nature of science? How do I teach controversial topics? How can I create a culture of scientific inquiry in my classroom? Where has biology teaching been, and where is it going?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are scientific inquiry practices like today? How should schools approach inquiry in science education? Teaching Science Inquiry presents the scholarly papers and practical conversations that emerged from the exchanges at a two-day conference of distinctive North American 'science studies' and 'learning science'scholars. The conference goal: forge consensus views about images of inquiry that could inform teaching science through inquiry. The conference outcomes: recommendations for "Enhanced Scientific Method", "Extended Immersion Units of Instruction", and "Teacher Professional Development Models". The edited volume will appeal to individuals interested in science learning as well as the design of learning environments. Scholars, policy makers, teacher educators and teachers will find this volume's recommendations provocative and insightful. Twentieth century scientific advances with new tools, technologies, and theories have changed what it means to do science, to engage in scientific inquiry and to describe science as a way of knowing. Advances in 'science studies' disciplines are updating views about the nature of scientific inquiry. Advances in the cognitive and 'learning sciences' are altering understandings about knowledge acquisition, meaning making, and conditions for school learning. The conference papers, commentaries and panel reflections advance novel views about both children's learning and the nature of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book meets a demand in the science education community for a comprehensive and introductory measurement book in science education. It describes measurement instruments reported in refereed science education research journals, and introduces the Rasch modeling approach to developing measurement instruments in common science assessment domains, i.e. conceptual understanding, affective variables, science inquiry, learning progression, and learning environments. This book can help readers develop a sound understanding of measurement theories and approaches, particularly Rasch modeling, to using and developing measurement instruments for science education research. This book is for anyone who is interested in knowing what measurement instruments are available and how to develop measurement instruments for science education research. For example, this book can be a textbook for a graduate course in science education research methods; it helps graduate students develop competence in using and developing standardized measurement instruments for science education research. Science education researchers, both beginning and experienced, may use this book as a reference for locating available and developing new measurement instruments when conducting a research study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It can be a tough thing to admit: Despite hearing so much about the importance of inquiry-based science education, you may not be exactly sure what it is, not to mention how to do it. But now this engaging new book takes the intimidation out of inquiry. Science as Inquiry in the Secondary Setting gives you an overview of what inquiry can be like in middle and high school and explores how to incorporate more inquiry-centered practices into your own teaching. In 11 concise chapters, leading researchers raise and resolve such key questions as: What is Inquiry? What does inquiry look like in speccific classes, such as the Earth science lab or the chemitry lab? What are the basic features of inquiry instruction? How do you assess science as inquiry? Science as Inquiry was created to fill a vacuum. No other book serves as such a compact, easy-to-understand orientation to inquiry. It's ideal for guiding discussion, fostering reflection, and helping you enhance your own classroom practices. As chapter author Mark Windschitl writes, "The aim of doing more authrntic science in schools is not to mimic scientists, but to develop the depth of content knowledge, the habits of mind, and the critical reasoning skills that are so crucial to basic science literacy." This volume guides you to find new ways of helping students further along the path to science literacy.
