How Students Learn
How Students Learn: Science in the Classroom builds on the discoveries detailed in the best-selling How People Learn . Now these findings are presented in a way that teachers can use immediately, to revitalize their work in the classroom for even greater effectiveness.
Organized for utility, the book explores how the principles of learning can be applied in science at three levels: elementary, middle, and high school. Leading educators explain in detail how they developed successful curricula and teaching approaches, presenting strategies that serve as models for curriculum development and classroom instruction. Their recounting of personal teaching experiences lends strength and warmth to this volume.
This book discusses how to build straightforward science experiments into true understanding of scientific principles. It also features illustrated suggestions for classroom activities.

How Students Come to Be, Know, and Do
Studies of learning are too frequently conceptualized only in terms of knowledge development. Yet it is vital to pay close attention to the social and emotional aspects of learning in order to understand why and how it occurs. How Students Come to Be, Know, and Do builds a theoretical argument for and a methodological approach to studying learning in a holistic way. The authors provide examples of urban fourth graders from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds studying science as a way to illustrate how this model contributes to a more complete and complex understanding of learning in school settings. What makes this book unique is its insistence that to fully understand human learning we have to consider the affective-volitional processes of learning along with the more familiar emphasis on knowledge and skills.

Integrating STEM teaching and learning into the K-2 classroom
Here's proof that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) isn't just for the big kids! This book's 10 chapters are a mini-course on blending authentic, phenomena-driven, integrated STEM teaching and learning into busy K-2 classrooms. Based in both research and real-world experience, \"Integrating STEM Teaching and Learning Into the K-2 Classroom\" provides professional learning experiences that help you make connections between STEM topics and the everyday activities you're already doing with your students. The book answers the following questions: (1) How is K-2 STEM education different from what you're already doing, and how can you do it without squeezing more into your already-full schedule?; (2) What are the key elements in an integrated STEM classroom, and how do they work together?; and (3) How do you use STEM in concert with your core reading block? To show you how it all works in real life, the book provides descriptions of four completed projects from actual classrooms--projects with names like \"Baby Bear's Chair\" and \"A Pond Habitat.\" An easy-to-follow template shows you the process for developing your own STEM experiences. The final chapter describes how one district created a culture of STEM teaching and learning when education partners committed to working together toward a common goal. Researchers agree that STEM education is important in early childhood. \"Integrating STEM Teaching and Learning\" gives you the background and strategies to engage your young students in STEM without overloading your day--or overwhelming yourself.

Next Generation Science Standards
Next Generation Science Standards identifies the science all K-12 students should know. These new standards are based on the National Research Council's A Framework for K-12 Science Education . The National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve have partnered to create standards through a collaborative state-led process. The standards are rich in content and practice and arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education.
The print version of Next Generation Science Standards complements the nextgenscience.org website and:
Provides an authoritative offline reference to the standards when creating lesson plans
Arranged by grade level and by core discipline, making information quick and easy to find
Printed in full color with a lay-flat spiral binding
Allows for bookmarking, highlighting, and annotating
