Description: Cooperative Learning in Science: A Handbook for Teachers contains original essays by leaders in the cooperative learning movement and by classroom teachers describing effective cooperative learning strategies. The strategies are appropriate for any content area within the sciences and can be used with all levels of students - from elementary through high school - as well as teacher training and professional staff development settings. Cooperative Learning in Science provides practical assistance to both new and experienced teachers who are seeking effective small-group alternatives or additions to their current science teaching repertoire. These methods are directly tied to the major goals of science instruction.
