Your Science Classroom
Becoming an Elementary / Middle School Science Teacher

Ignite student learning and teacher enthusiasm in the science inquiry classroom



March 2012 | 320 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc

Focused on teaching methods, Your Science Classroom: Becoming an Elementary / Middle School Science Teacher is a core textbook for use in elementary / middle school science methods courses. Designed around a practical, 'practice-what-you teach' approach to methods instruction, the text is based on current constructivist philosophy and organized around 5E inquiry and guided by the National Science Education Teaching Standards. The text is purposely designed to prepare teachers to teach science in ways that foster positive attitudes and engagement in meaningful science learning for themselves and their students.
