Synopsis

Core text for Science in Early Childhood and Science in the Elementary School courses.

The new edition of this popular text again gathers all of the elements necessary to help prospective teachers learn to inspire children to care about their world and how it works, enjoy investigating it, and remember with pride what their investigations uncover. These authors clearly demonstrate that to be effective, science teaching must engage children not just physically, intellectually, and socially; but, emotionally, as well. They show how providing achievable goals and appropriate guidance sparks children's natural interest in what things do, how things work, and why things happen the way they do. The text's multi-model approach works with a variety of learning styles. It connects science activities with the rest of the early childhood curriculum―math, literature, music, art, etc.―and places science in the context of today's children's lives within the family and the community.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

For over 20 years, Harlan’s and Rivkin’s text has remained a classic in the field of early childhood science education. Its innovative, forward-thinking approach has instructed countless pre-service and new teachers on how to reveal the wonder of science to young children. Written in a clear and accessible manner, with a research-based rationale for early science education, this best-selling resource encourages new teachers to help children live appreciatively and thoughtfully on this amazing planet.

 

New features of the Tenth Edition:

• Exciting new research and theories and their links to early childhood science approaches are presented in chapters 1 and 2.
• A broadened view of appropriate formative assessments concurrent with the National Science Teachers Association assessment focus and on STEM education.
• The Environment chapter (Chapter 16) has a stronger focus on interdependence, with emphasis on learning in nature, bonding with nature, and clearer connections to prior conceptual content.
• Recommended learning sources beyond the classroom include the family, the community, the outdoors, and supporting the Leave No Child Inside movement.
• New activities include: Air Inquiry which connects air and plant life, and a redesigned Seeds We Eat that now accommodates gluten-intolerant children. 
• Annotated bibliographies of new children’s literature are added to Part II, and extensive updated references have been added throughout.
