Science in elementary education

Emphasizing the constructivist theory, this classic text provides an overview of science education in a popular two-part demonstration that presents methods first, followed by science content and activities.

This new edition includes the use of technology, more emphasis on the learning cycle approach, vignettes from classroom instructors, more in-depth use of assessment and the National Science Education Standards, and resources which are provided through the World Wide Web. Comes packaged with a sampler of National Science Education Standards with interpretation.
