In this pioneering text, a constructivist approach guides users in learning how to teach in a constructivist manner. The book is based on the belief that it�s more important for children to learn how to do science than it is for them to learn about science, and that teachers of elementary science do not need to know a great deal of science to teach it effectively, but rather need to be co-inquirers with their students. More than 170 process-oriented activities, organized by grade level, help practicing teachers encourage children to develop and perform their own investigations.

Rigor level is very appropriate for pre-service teachers just starting in their methods courses. Science teaching is presented as fun and doable.?
