This guide for elementary science teacher educators outlines the theory, principles, and strategies they need to know in order to plan and carry out instruction for future elementary science teachers, and provides classroom examples anchored to those principles. The book is grounded in the theoretical framework of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).
