Through 19 carefully sequenced lessons and activities, this unit gets middle schoolers ready for next-level learning. Students explore what happens at the molecular level so they can understand how living things grow and repair their body structures. Using Legos, ball-and-stick models, videos, and print manipulatives helps them retain what they learn so they can apply that knowledge later. Both effective and engaging, Toward High School Biolog...

Imagine handing out assessments that spark enthusiasm rather than dread. In six easy-to-follow steps, this book empowers science teachers to create tasks that guide students to use their knowledge, not just memorize facts. The NGSA design process transforms assessments into valuable classroom tools that teachers can use to chart how students' learning builds with instruction over time. Far from being just another set of guidelines, this step-b...

What if you could challenge your 11th graders to gain an understanding of the feats of engineering required to build high-rise buildings-- and maybe even improve them? With this volume in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series, you can! Construction Materials outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. The series is designed to meet the growing need to infu...

In Inquiring Scientists, Inquiring Readers, science educators Jessica Fries-Gaither and Terry Shiverdecker help teachers blend literacy into elementary science instruction. This unique book will show teachers how to teach science using a variety of nonfiction text sets (such as field guides, reference books, and narrative expository texts) and replace individual lessons with a learning-cycle format (including hands-on investigations, readings,...

Authors Susan Koba and Carol Mitchell introduce teachers of grades 3- 5 to their conceptual framework for successful instruction of hard-to-teach science concepts. Their methodology comprises four steps: (1) engage students about their preconceptions and address their thinking, (2) target lessons to be learned, (3) determine appropriate strategies, and (4) use Standards-based teaching that builds on student understandings. The authors not only...

Climate Change From Pole to Pole: Biology Investigations offers timely, relevant, biology-based case studies and background information on how to teach the science of climate change. The six painstakingly researched and field-tested activities, which build on four content chapters, give students the opportunity to solve real-life scientific problems using guiding questions, graphs and data tables, short reading assignments, and independent res...

What makes a windup toy get up and go? How does an earbud operate? And why does the line you're waiting in always seem the slowest? Get middle-schoolers engaged in the fascinating science behind familiar items with More Everyday Engineering. Like Everyday Engineering, this compilation brings together activities based on the " Everyday Engineering" columns from NSTA's award-winning journal Science Scope. Thirteen hands-on investigations focus o...

In Team Teaching Science, Ed Linz, Mary Jane Heater, and Lori A. Howard demonstrate the truth in the old adage " Two heads are better than one." This guide for developing successful team-teaching partnerships that maximize student learning will help preservice and inservice special education and science teachers in grades K- 12, as well as methods professors in science education programs who want to cover special needs issues in their curricul...

The arrival of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) makes it the ideal time to kick-start your professional development program, and this ambitious book is the perfect source of inspiration to help you do so. The book's emphasis is on developing highly effective teachers who are expected to improve student achievement in STEM education, its focus is on research-based models underlying systemic reform efforts across the nation. The book...

- 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 ...

Science teachers face an incredible challenging task of combining research on how students learn best, the three-dimensions of the Science Education Frameworks that in themselves are complicated to understand, and instructional sequences that lead to deeper learning. Activating Students' Ideas Matter: Linking Formative Assessment Probes to Instructional Sequence is the type of book that stimulates teacher thinking and cultivates teachers' skil...

Would you like to challenge your middle school students to explain a range of phenomena-- from how nylon thread can form from two clear, colorless liquids to how a snake that eats only eggs can make body structures such as skin and scales that don't look anything like an egg? Would your students enjoy building molecular models to understand how an herbicide prevents weeds from growing? If so, then Toward High School Biology is the curriculum f...
