Synopsis

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

 

The ninth edition of Science Experiences for the Early Childhood Years is written during recurrent national anxiety about science education.  Since the 1957 launch of Sputnik, concern has pervaded the overlapping circles of education, business, labor, and government.  The United States is afraid of losing its high standard of living to countries that have more citizens, or are more desperately hard-working, or whose children both score higher on international math and science tests and pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers with more frequency.  The aim of this book is to help new teachers be both informed in science and strong in their belief that science is great for children, a master discipline, that naturally facilitates attention to math and reading. 

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.
