required text for my teaching science and engineering methods class! definitely a nice read, and great introduction for a beginner who is integrating science and inquiry based learning into the classroom. suprised how equity-based it was since it was written in 2008… lots of ideas about achievement gaps and MLLs which was very surprising! since it was a basic intro it left me with questions and curiosities but in a good way. so excited for the other required texts for this class!

Read for school

Solid frameworks to apply in elementary classrooms. The case studies were helpful to think about applications at different grade levels.

I agree with most of the research in this book. However it didn't give me any new ideas or strategies for teaching science. For those who are still teaching science as rote memorization of content, I hope it will be read and applied.

a great pedagogical book, about teaching Science in primary school and the first classes of high school. Many options are offered to the teacher and much more ideas are suggested. Recommended for teachers (or even parents)
