Resources for Teaching Elementary School Science was published in 1996. A future edition is destined to cover materials to help high school science teachers. In Part 1, the central focus of this book is defined as providing guidance in identifying and evaluating middle school science curriculum materials and resources. The format of the book is described in detail. Grade levels are provided for each entry.
Some titles contain the grade level and the reading level, as well.
One very helpful part of each annotation is the key to content standards, which provide which standards the title addresses. These standards, which come from the National Science Education Standards, can be found in Appendix C. Part 3 lists reference materials. Ancillary resources are discussed in Part 4. These cover museums and places to visit in chapter 10 and professional associations and U. S. government organizations in chapter 11. Each entry provides the name, address, telephone number, and web site when available.
