I found this book to be incredibly helpful to me. I am in my student teaching currently and was hesitant to teach science, as I haven't had much experience. This book has been really helpful in breaking down classroom procedures, hands-on activities, ways to engage with your students, and much more. I would highly suggest this to any science teacher!
