Teaching K-5 Science

Encouraging Exploration, Inquiry, and Problem-Solving

Beschreibung

Teaching K-5 Science empowers teachers, especially those new to the field, with tools, strategies, and knowledge to improve their practice. It offers strategies for engaging diverse learners and explores ways of connecting the science curriculum to students' daily lives. This book also appeals to administrators looking for resources to support teachers' professional development, emphasize STEAM pathways, and incorporate the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) into classrooms. With research-based strategies that emphasize the "5 Es" of science instruction--engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate--Teaching K-5 Science provides sound guidance for educators in today's evolving classrooms.
