Written towards public-school teachers who are navigating new science standards in the classroom, but adaptable for anyone wishing to teach from a '5E' science model, this text provides step-by-step instruction for each stage in the model. The '5E's' are: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Extend, and Evaluate, and they're designed to engage students' thinking skills and allow them to enter into the process of scientific discovery. Teaching rationales for each phase, teaching hints, strategies for grade cohorts, ideas for using technology in the classroom, and examples, provide an overarching explanation and manual for teaching science using the 5Es. 168 pages, softcover.
