All about Science
I think this a great collection for any science teacher in any grade. It goes over the basics of teaching science, and science inquiry. Inquiry is a very important part of a science classroom and many times overlooked and exchanged for the classical lecture method of teaching science. This collection also provides in depth detail about science safety, which is extremely important when you allow students to gather their own knowledge and form their own experiments. Safety is many times overlooked at in the elementary grades, but this collection corrects the misconception that elementary students cannot participate in certain laboratory experiments.Once again this a very good collection because it addresses all aspects of the science classroom, including Habits of Mind.
