Summary

The Third Edition continues its emphasis on best practices, constructivism, and learning science through inquiry.

  • The authors have taken their popular
  • 4E Learning Cycle teaching method from Part III in the second edition and applied it throughout this edition. The chapters are now organized around these four key areas of the learning cycle: Exploration, Explanation, Expansion, and Evaluation. Continuing to integrate the National Science Education Standards throughout, the authors provide ways for future teachers to foster an awareness among their students of the nature of science; implement skills in the classroom using science inquiry processes; and develop in their students an understanding of the interactions among science, technology, and society.
