Brain-Powered Science: Teaching and Learning with Discrepant Events - PB271X Thomas O'Brien; National Science Teachers Association National Science Teachers Association, Arlington, Va, Virginia, 2010

How can a long metal needle pass through a balloon without popping it? How can water flow at very different rates through two identical funnels? How can a stick, placed on a table under several sheets of newspaper and extended over the edge of a table, snap when quickly struck without lifting or tearing the paper? Author Thomas O Brien takes these and 30 more science inquiry activities to a higher level in this book for educators who love to surprise and challenge their students with unanticipated results. Using experiments based on the science of a discrepant event an experiment or demonstration in which the outcome is not what students expect O Brien shows how learners can be motivated to reconsider their preconceived notions and think more closely about what has actually occurred and the underlying scientific explanations. What makes this volume more valuable than a mere activity book is the addition of a science education component to the extensive science content found in each activity. Each discrepant event is shown to be analogous to a pedagogical principle. Speaking directly to teachers, O Brien Your participation as teacher-as-learner-experimenter (rather than simply passive reader) in these minds-on activities will lead you to question, and help you to revise, your implicit assumptions about the nature of science, teaching, and learning. At the same time, you will develop expertise with activities that you can use with your own students. The dual-purpose activities thus allow you to unlock two doors with one key the doors to your own learning and to your students learning. The detailed analogies between the activities and science learning make the book an ideal resource for middle and high school teachers, science teacher educators and their preservice students, and professional development specialists alike. This thorough and thought-provoking text includes more than 200 up-to-date internet resources, as well as extensions to each of the physical science, biology, and chemistry activities bringing the total number of inquiry activities to nearly 120. Most important, the author reminds teachers that the study of science is full of surprises and should be both meaningful and fun for students.

EBOOK: TEACHING AND LEARNING SCIENCE Derek Hodson Buckingham ; Philadelphia: Open University Press, McGraw-Hill Education (UK) Limited, [N.p.], 1998

This book extends and unifies recent debate and research about science education in several disparate fields, including philosophy of science, cognitive psychology and motivation theory. Through an approach based on the personalization of learning and the politicization of the curriculum and classroom, it shows how the complex goal of critical scientific literacy can be achieved by all students, including those who traditionally underachieve in science or opt out of science education at the earliest opportunity. Current thinking in situated cognition and learning through apprenticeship are employed to build a sociocultural learning model based on a vigorous learning community, in which the teacher acts as facilitator, co-learner and anthropologist. Later chapters describe how these theoretical arguments can be translated into effective classroom practice through a coherent inquiry-oriented pedagogy, involving a much more critical and wide-ranging use of hands-on and language-based learning than is usual in science education.

Science and society in the classroom : using sociocultural perspectives to develop science education Verma, Geeta Amherst, N.Y.: Cambria Press, Cambria Press, Amherst, N.Y., 2009

In 21st-century America, one of the goals of the education is to successfully prepare students for their meaningful, sustained, and robust participation in a democratic society. In the context of K–12 science education, this means educating students so that they develop into future adult citizen capable of considering and deciding on conflicting issues and policies influenced by science, technology, and sustainability issues. The challenge for science education is thus to find successful ways to integrate content, pedagogy, and citizenship education. It is important to examine curricular approaches in science classrooms since most of the science education a student receives take place in the context of a formal school science curriculum. Most curricular materials in science education allow students to engage in what is commonly referred to as an inform, verify, practice (IVF) format. Using this format, students gain access to information either through a lecture or a text, attempt to verify the presented information through lab activities, and may practice the mastered information with questions and/or problems. These curricular approaches do not explicitly integrate citizenship education to facilitate students'understandings of issues and policies shaped by science, technology, and sustainability issues. In order to bridge this gap, curricula guided by sociocultural perspectives may be a possible answer. Existing literature integrating sociocultural perspectives in the school science curriculum include context-based science, connected science, contextualized science, and/or socioscientific issues (SSI). These curricular approaches are being examined to document their effectiveness by linking social dilemmas with conceptual or technological links to science. This study integrates science education reform documents, blends sociocultural theoretical frameworks, and draws upon empirical data to contribute to the use of sociocultural theory in science education in an urban middle school setting. Current findings indicate that urban children are not experiencing much success when it comes to school science. Traditional paradigms for science education research focus on the learning of science using IVF format with little regard for the sociocultural context. In this book, the author posits that the exploration of urban students'engagement with school science using sociocultural perspectives may uncover factors that influence students learning and success in the science classrooms. The author further proposes that using curricula framed around sociocultural perspectives may develop students'understandings about the role science and technology plays in their lives, as well as well as in the larger society, thus making science more accessible and relevant for these children in urban settings. There has been no study to date that examines the impact of curricular approaches guided by a sociocultural framework (contextualized curriculum in this study) on the comprehension level and attitudes of students. The study fills that gap and holds implications for the inclusion of alternative curricular framework in urban middle school science classrooms. The author has used a mixed-methods study and draws upon both quantitative and qualitative data sources. The study design allows the reader to appreciate the perspectives of participating students and teachers on the use of contextualized curricular framework versus curricular framework guided by IVF practices in urban middle school science classrooms. This is an important book for collections in education, particularly science and K–12.

More Brain-Powered Science: Teaching and Learning With Discrepant Events - PB271X2 by Thomas O'Brien National Science Teachers Association - NSTA Press, Arlington, Va, Virginia, 2011

What can a chocolate chip cookie tell us about the Earth s resources and the importance of environmental conservation? How can a clear, colorless spray solution unveil a hidden message on a blank sign? Author Thomas O Brien uses these and 20 other inquiry-oriented discrepant events hands-on explorations or demonstrations in which the outcomes are not what students expect to challenge students preconceived ideas and urge them to critically examine the empirical evidence, draw logical inferences, and skeptically review their initial explanations with their peers. More Brain-Powered Science is the perfect dual-purpose activity book for grade 5 12 science teachers who aim to stimulate and motivate their students while expanding their own scientific understanding. Each activity will help bridge the gap between practice and theory for both students and teachers by relating conclusions to science concepts and pedagogical principles. Speaking directly to teachers, O Brien "This book is based on the assumption that just as our students learn science by experiencing, thinking, writing, discussing, and doing phenomena-based science with peers, we need similar experiences to grow as teachers of science. ... Careerlong learning with and from our students and colleagues as we engage with them in interactive, participatory, experiential learning is the hallmark of highly qualified teachers who expect and obtain the MOST from themselves (minds-on science teaching) and their students." The inquiry-based lessons and more than 80 related extension activities can serve as the framework for professional development collaborations or as a supplement to conventional preservice science teaching methods courses. Each chapter includes an introduction, an explanation of the science and science education concepts addressed, a materials list, teacher debriefing tools, safety notes, and additional internet resources. Whether used in conjunction with O Brien s previous book, Brain-Powered Science, or as an independent text, More Brain-Powered Science offers hours of interactive learning for teachers and students alike.

Constructing Science in Middle and Secondary School Classrooms Baker, Dale R., 1949-; Piburn, Michael D., 1939- Boston: Allyn and Bacon, Boston, Massachusetts, 1997

"Constructing Science in Middle and Secondary School Classrooms is the first in what the authors hope is a new generation of textbooks in education. Built around the theoretical and philosophical viewpoint of constructivism, the text is devoted to exploring the applications of constructivism to teaching science in middle and secondary schools." "Each chapter in its design fosters the constructivist teaching of science. Concept maps open up chapters to exhibit content, followed by Commentary sections that offer the authors' perspectives to the chapter and preconceptions that refute common misunderstandings. Teaching Notes throughout chapters feature practical lesson plans which may be used by students in classroom experiences. Summing up each chapter are conceptual reflections to encourage students to identify their understanding of the content, concept map activities, self-reflection notebook exercises, and extensive notes to provide deeper analysis." "The preservice teacher, this new text will involve you in a dialogue and develop strategies that will help you construct your own understandings of teaching science."--BOOK JACKET

Teaching science for understanding : a practical guide for middle and high school teachers James Joseph Gallagher Upper Saddle River, N.J.: Pearson Merrill Prentice Hall, 1st ed., Upper Saddle River, N.J, New Jersey, 2007

Teaching Science for Understanding, 1/e Written by the leading science educator in the country, Teaching Science for Understanding challenges you to transform your ideas about teaching from passive, direct learning to active, inquiry learning. To do so, the author demonstrates science teaching through three different levels of learning activities: <ul> <li>building students’ base of information</li> <li>developing understanding</li> <li>applying knowledge</li> </ul> Each chapter guides you through the type of planning and instruction you will need to create a constructivist environment in your classroom, providing you with specific activities and examples to illustrate how you can teach science for understanding. Unique Features: Science Reform–Identifies the four major elements of a new vision for science education; science for all, teaching and learning for understanding, a broader vision of science, and a reduction of the amount of science content offered in middle and secondary school teaching. Supporting these elements are Project 2061, Science for All Americans, National Science Standards and No Child Left Behind. Active Learning–promotes students engaged in constructing their own learning and assists teachers in knowing their role in deciding when to withhold help, when to give help, and what help to give. Instructional Model for Teaching Science for Understanding–shares a design for planning objectives, ongoing assessment and learning activities through a sample lesson on photosynthesis. Excerpts from best-selling Middle School and Secondary Textbooks and Teacher Guides–Appearing in Chapters 10-14, explicit examples of textbook pages and teacher guides illustrate how teachers can use textbooks as enrichment, background knowledge and resources as a part of teaching science for understanding.

The BSCS 5E Instructional Model : Creating Teachable Moments Rodger W. Bybee National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), 1, 2015

With this book, you can stop wishing you could engage your students more fully and start engaging. Magic moments no longer have to be random. The BSCS 5E Instructional Model can help you create more teachable moments in your classroom. Created in the late 1980s by a team led by author Rodger Bybee, the popular BSCS 5E Instructional Model includes five phases: engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. Bybee wrote this book to be just as well organized and practical as the model itself. Much of it is devoted to an in-depth explanation of how to put the model to work in the classroom, but the book also • explores the historical idea of what can be considered instructional models and education research that supports such models; • explains how to connect the model to the Next Generation Science Standards, STEM education, 21st-century skills, and implementation in your classroom; and • weaves a narrative that encompasses education research, the psychology of learning, and the reality of classroom practice. Firmly rooted in research but brought to life in a conversational tone, The BSCS 5E Instructional Model addresses every teacher's concern: how to become more effective in the classroom—and enjoy more of those teachable moments.

Front-Page Science: Engaging Teens in Science Literacy (PB302X) Wendy Saul; Angela Kohnen; Alan Newman; Laura Pearce National Science Teachers Association - NSTA Press, National Science Teachers Association, Arlington, Va, 2012

“The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force issued new guidelines for mammograms in 2009. What does this mean for someone with a family history of breast cancer? Congress periodically votes on a piece of legislation called the Farm Bill. What does its current iteration mean for the safety of supermarket eggs? Understanding how the latest science affects real people—patients, consumers, voters, and taxpayers—is at the heart of science literacy.” —From Chapter 1 of Front-Page Science Like citizen journalists, your students can get to the heart of science literacy—and challenging questions like these—with the “learn by doing” methodology in this innovative book. Front-Page Science uses science journalism techniques to help students become better consumers of, and contributors to, a scientifically literate community. The book is divided into three parts: • Background information and a rationale for using science journalism techniques • Concrete advice about how to teach science literacy in this framework—from helping students find story angles to teaching search strategies and interview techniques • The process of putting together and writing a news story, including how to get students started, help them when they're stalled, and respond to their drafts A free website provides downloadable lesson plans, teacher suggestions, and a forum for exchanging ideas with others. Like Front-Page Science, the website is part of the National Science Foundation–funded Science Literacy Through Science Journalism project. By making full use of these rich resources, you'll teach your students skills that will help them make sense of their world not just now, but also after graduation and for years to come.

“We are among those who have come to enjoy the blossoming intellects, often comical behaviors, and insatiable curiosity of middle schoolers—and choose to work with them! With more than 130 years of combined experience in the profession, we've gathered a lot of ideas to share. We know from our interactions with educators around the country that precious few quality resources exist to assist science teachers ‘in the middle,'and this was a central impetus for updating Doing Good Science in Middle School.” —From the preface This lively book contains the kind of guidance that could only come from veterans of the middle school science trenches. The authors know you're crazy-busy, so they made the book easy to use, whether you want to read it cover to cover or pick out sections to help you with lesson planning and classroom management. They also know you face new challenges, so they thoroughly revised this second edition to meet the needs of today's students. The book contains: • big-picture concepts, such as how to understand middle school learners and explore the nature of science with them; • a comprehensive overview of science and engineering practices, STEM, and inquiry-based middle school science instruction, aligned with A Framework for K–12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards; • 10 new and updated teacher-tested activities that integrate STEM with literacy skill-building; • information on best instructional practices and professional-development resources; and • connections to the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics. If you're a new teacher, you'll gain a solid foundation in how to teach science and engineering practices while better understanding your often-enigmatic middle-grade students. If you're a veteran teacher, you'll benefit from a fresh view of what your colleagues are doing in new times. Either way, Doing Good Science in Middle School is a rich opportunity to reaffirm that what you do is “good science.”

The Frugal Science Teacher 6-9: Strategies and Activities - PB276X2 edited by Linda Froschauer National Science Teachers Association - NSTA Press, 1st ed., Arlington, Va, Virginia, 2009

Teachers of all grades and disciplines often dip into their own wallets to outfit their classrooms with materials and supplies that school and district budgets cannot, or will not, cover. Science teachers tend to find themselves supplementing their shrinking funds with even greater frequency. This collection of essays, carefully selected by former NSTA President and current Science and Children editor Linda Froschauer, outlines creative and inexpensive ways for preK through fifth-grade science teachers to keep their expenses to a minimum in five Student-Created Constructions, Teacher-Created Constructions and Repurposed Materials, Teaching Strategies That Maximize the Budget, Instructional Lessons That Maximize the Budget, and Funds and Materials. Chapters provide inexpensive alternatives to costly classroom projects, offer re-imagined uses for items teachers already have at home or school, and suggest new and untapped resources for materials. Even more important than offering ideas for frugality, the activities and strategies better enable teachers to develop the conceptual understanding of their students. A comprehensive list of the many free resources available from the National Science Teachers Association is also included.

Science and technology are often presented and taught as two separate essences. When this is done, students as well as teachers are forced to attempt to develop the appropriate linkages. This book is one of a series designed to help teachers develop their science and technological education in ways that are both satisfying to themselves and stimulating to their students. Chapter 1, "Introductions," includes an overview of the concerns of those in the field and a layout of the book. Chapter 2, "Different pupils, different responses," discusses some of the differences that exist among students. These differences are listed as educational, psychological, physical, social, and cultural. Chapter 3, "Responding to pupil differences: some possible teaching tactics," is concerned with the teaching tactics that can be used to respond to the individual characteristics of pupils so that each can be helped to learn science effectively. Chapter 4, "Responding to pupil differences: some possible classroom strategies," discusses two different approaches: mastery and flexible learning. The final chapter, "Putting the ideas to use," links theory and practice so that readers will be better able to make use of the book in relation to their own teaching. (ZWH)
