Image credits. Index. Problem-Based Learning in the Life science offers a great new way to ignite your creativity. Authors Tom J. McConnell, Joyce Parker and Janet Eberhardt show you how to engage students with scenarios that represent real-world science in all its messy, thought-provoking glory. The scenarios prompt learners to immerse themselves in analyzing problems, asking questions, posing hypotheses, finding needed information, and then constructing a proposed solution. In addition to complete lesson plans supporting the Next Generation Science Standards, the book offers extensive examples, instructions, and tips. The lessons cover four categories: life cycles, ecology, genetics and cellular metabolism. But Problem-Based Learning in the Life Science doesn t just explain why, how, and when to implement problem-based learning (PBL). It also provides you with what many think is the trickiest part of the approach: rich, authentic problems. The authors facilitated the National Science Foundation-funded PBL Project for Teachers and used the problems in their own science teaching, so you can be confident that the problems and the approach are teacher.
