Synopsis
"Kid's Eye View of Science" addresses all the tough issues-how to apply science to the teaching of science (applying brain research to the classroom), how to make science more experiential and memorable by applying it to real-world situations, and how to make science curriculum more conceptual and thus more powerful. This book contains three basic elements: how to apply four key areas of brain research to the teaching of science, how to make science curriculum conceptual and based in real-world experiences and the instructional strategies necessary for robust exploration of science. The model provides a comprehensive vision of the task of curriculum development and selecting instructional strategies-best practice based on brain research-coupled with practical, step-by-step advice for improving science programs and increasing student outcomes.
