In the 13th edition of the book “Teaching Science Through Inquiry-Based Instruction” by Terry L. Contant, educators will find a comprehensive guide to incorporating inquiry-based teaching methods into elementary and middle school science classrooms. This book offers both theoretical insights and practical advice, making it an invaluable resource for teachers looking to enhance their students’ science learning experience.
One of the key features of this edition is the focus on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Performance Expectations and the National Science Education Standards (NSES). By incorporating these standards into the content, the book provides teachers with the tools they need to align their science curriculum with current educational guidelines.
The book also introduces readers to a Framework for K-12 Science Education, which outlines best practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas for science teaching. By incorporating the 5E Instructional Model, teachers are guided on how to effectively bring inquiry-based instruction into their classrooms.
Each chapter includes discussion questions and professional practice activities to encourage reflection and further learning. Additionally, the book features NGSS-aligned classroom activities that demonstrate how to integrate the three dimensions of science into instructional practices.
For a more interactive learning experience, the Enhanced Pearson eText accompanies the book, offering students access to embedded videos, assessment quizzes, and an activity library to enhance their understanding of the content.
By incorporating the latest standards and best practices in science education, “Teaching Science Through Inquiry-Based Instruction” equips teachers with the knowledge and tools necessary to create engaging and effective science lessons for their students.
