Brain-Compatible Science
Autor Margaret Angermeyer Manganen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 noi 2006
Gain fresh insights for teaching, learning, and assessing knowledge of critical science concepts through the exploration of research-based practices for science education. Brain Compatible Science, Second Edition shows teachers how to incorporate practices such as constructivism and inquiry-based learning into their science instruction to help students move beyond memorising facts to deeper levels of understanding.
Linked to National Science Education Standards, this resource also provides an abundance of fully developed science lessons that give students maximum exposure to new ideas and ways of thinking. Easily adapted to any science curriculum, the lessons include:
- Learning objectives, assessment rubrics, and checklists
- Background information
- Pre-activity discussions with step-by-step procedures
- Reproducible pages
- Closure and extension suggestions
This powerful model of science instruction invites students into a meaningful inquiry, helping them develop positive attitudes about science, and ensuring that they understand important concepts and principles.

Recenzii
"Very useful to K–12 classroom teachers and pre-service teachers. The examples, vignettes, cases, and stories are powerful, and the lesson plans are well done and easy to use."
"A model of science instruction that promotes deep understanding of processes and principles, meaningful transfer of learning to new settings, and a positive attitude toward the role of science and technology in society that will help today’s students develop into tomorrow’s informed decision makers."
