A powerful resource for achieving science for all
While major educational publishers, their authors and editors have abandoned research-based science education for a misguided emphasis on decontextualized teaching of literacy and numeracy and factoid preparation for high stakes testing, NSTA Press and authors like John Haysom and Michael Bowen continue to advance the cause of science for all with research-based teaching and learning resources. For all those science teachers who remain true to their calling to actively engage students in meaningful learning, Predict, Observe, Explain is an outstanding, well researched, classroom developed and tested resource. It uses a powerful strategy for enlisting students in learning some of the most important ideas in science.
