Description:

Every primary teacher will find Rising to the Challenge a welcome route to National Science Education Standards. Karen Ostlund reviews the process skills that are appropriate for the early childhood years; observing, communicating, comparing, classifying, measuring, predicting, inferring, defining, formulating models, investigating. Teachers who may have been taught the sciences as a body of facts, laws, principles, and concepts will appreciate the first 76 pages, which effectively explain inquiry methods.

Forty delightful activities support change with materials, teaching tips, and connections. Brief content summaries help the science-shy teacher feel comfortable. Permission is given for reproducing up to 200 copies of any portion of the book for on-site workshops for parents, teachers, school administrators, and other interested parties. Easy-to-use rubrics for the assessments will be invaluable to teachers who haven't had training in scoring authentic assessments in their undergraduate years. This book will be a useful tool for any teacher who is interested in helping children to learn and practice inquiry in the study of science. This guide would make an excellent workshop manual or a welcome support for any elementary teacher who is open to change.
