Doing Good Science in Middle School, Expanded 2nd Edition - A Practical STEM Guide - PB183E2

We are among those who have come to enjoy the blossoming intellects, often comical behaviors, and insatiable curiosity of middle schoolers and choose to work with them! With more than 130 years of combined experience in the profession, we ve gathered a lot of ideas to share. We know from our interactions with educators around the country that precious few quality resources exist to assist science teachers in the middle, and this was a central impetus for updating Doing Good Science in Middle School. From the preface This lively book contains the kind of guidance that could only come from veterans of the middle school science trenches. The authors know you re crazy-busy, so they made the book easy to use, whether you want to read it cover to cover or pick out sections to help you with lesson planning and classroom management. They also know you face new challenges, so they thoroughly revised this second edition to meet the needs of today s students. The book contains: big-picture concepts, such as how to understand middle school learners and explore the nature of science with them; a comprehensive overview of science and engineering practices, STEM, and inquiry-based middle school science instruction, aligned with A Framework for K 12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards; 10 new and updated teacher-tested activities that integrate STEM with literacy skill-building; information on best instructional practices and professional-development resources; and connections to the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics. If you re a new teacher, you ll gain a solid foundation in how to teach science and engineering practices while better understanding your often-enigmatic middle-grade students. If you re a veteran teacher, you ll benefit from a fresh view of what your colleagues are doing in new times. Either way, Doing Good Science in Middle School is a rich opportunity to reaffirm that what you do is good science.
