Lawson, Teaching Inquiry Science in Middle and Secondary Schools This compelling new text practices what it preaches—it uses the inquiry approach to teach the inquiry approach. The book is developed around six key questions: 1. What is science? 2. Why teach science? 3. What is the nature of scientific knowledge? 4. How do scientists construct knowledge? 5. How do people develop effective reasoning patterns? 6. What teaching methods best facilitate scientific knowledge acquisition? Liu, Essentials of Science Classroom Assessment Presenting both traditional and innovative assessment methods integral to science teaching and learning, Essentials of Science Classroom Assessment shows teachers the connection between effective science assessment and improved student learning. The text uses a competence-based approach consistent with the National Science Education Standards to help teachers master assessment skills, apply them to science classroom instruction, and evaluate their impact on student learning.
