Student teachers, who may have a limited background in science, find the factual information that accompanies each activity invaluable. They consistently report this book as one of their best purchases, one they carry with them into their teaching career. The approach to science is exciting and thought-provoking. It offers comprehensive content along with process skills. It is very teacher-friendly and easy to use.
Students consistently comment that it is one of their best purchases.
The activities and background information are excellent matches to the National Science Standards and AAAS Project 2061, and I strongly recommend the book's use in other university education programs. Well worth its price. . . . Once in a while, a book comes along which everyone should have. Consider this a treasure whose time has come. Activities are organized by how long they take, so that you can plan your time easily.
