Albuquerque Public Schools- Hoover Middle School " I love this book! I am teaching 7th grade life science and 8th grade physical science and without this book this journey would have been much more difficult. The labs the book has provided are awesome. With many other science books the materials they suggest using are impossible for a public school to acquire. The household items needed to perform most of these experiments make them much easy to demonstrate in the class. I love how the book has provided scientific explanation at the beginning of each set of labs. At the beginning of every unit I look at the experiment section and plan which ones we will be doing. Teaching Science in Elementary and Middle School is a must for every science teacher!", Albuquerque Public Schools- Hoover Middle School " I love this book!

Synopsis
Grounded in a social and historical context, this unique book encourages readers to think like scientists... Teaching Science in Elementary and Middle School: A Cognitive and Cultural Approach offers pre-service and in-service elementary and middle school teachers of science practical strategies for the classroom as well as a better understanding of the role of science in our day-to-day lives and culture. Key Features Prepares teachers with 100 key experiments that teach core, standards-based science concepts within a methods instruction model Provides an introduction to the historical, social, cultural, and linguistic construction of science in American culture--in particular, how it functions as a human endeavor Emphasizes the idea that science is connected to the world around us through reflection case studies Stresses the development of the basic principles underlying scientific methods of thought and inquiry Integrates standards in other content areas through "Theory Into Practice" boxes. Accompanied by High-Quality Ancillaries! Instructors Resources CD : Available by contacting SAGE, this CD offers PowerPoint® lecture slides, a teaching guide for the science standards-based lesson plan project, video clips of select experiments, Theory Into Practice resources, Reflections on Science assignments, Web resources, and a test bank. Student Resource CD : Bound into the back of the text, this CD provides students with video clips to illustrate select experiments from the text, as well as other key science concepts. A guide accompanies the video clips to assist student learning. Web-Based Student Study Site , http://www.sagepub.com/buxtonstudy: This site provides a variety of additional resources that will enhance students understanding of the book content and take their learning one step further., I believe the experiments in this text can be well integrated into any science education course and help create an environment of exploration." - Willis Walter, Jr., Florida AM University This textbook should be a companion of all elementary and middle school pre-service and in-service teachers who are interested in educating students of different abilities and backgrounds - Benjamin C. Ngwudike, Jackson State University Science is almost always thought of as a solitary content area practiced by lone practitioners in isolated laboratories. The reality is that science is highly dependent upon culture and history. This textbook meaningfully presents these relationships in a fashion accessible to college level teacher candidates - Claudia A. Balach, Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania Teaching Science in Elementary and Middle School: A Cognitive and Cultural Approach is an introductory science curriculum and methods textbook for pre-service teachers in primary and middle schools. The primary purpose of the book is to provide an introduction to the teaching of science with an emphasis on guiding the pre-service teacher toward: - conceptual understanding of core standards-based science content from the four major scientific disciplines - application of scientific methods and processes of inquiry to the learning of these science concepts - development of scientific language that is both expressive and constitutive in the formation of scientific reasoning - the ability to guide learners through numerous core scientific experiments that help to illuminate items 1-3 - evaluation of social and cultural factors that shape and influence both science and science education - analysis of the local context in which science must be understood (as well as the global context) - synthesis of science as interrelated with other aspects of the world and how this idea can be taught to students through integrated and thematic instruction. The approach throughout is clear and practical, and is designed to foster reflective teaching rooted in research and theory. Teaching Science in Elementary and Middle School: A Cognitive and Cultural Approach is a synthesis of current knowledge in science education, cognition and culture. The authors provide a text that fosters the development of teachers who feel prepared to engage their students in rich science learning experiences., Grounded in a social and historical context, this unique book encourages readers to think like scientists...
