## Description

desertcart.com: Taking Science to School: Learning and Teaching Science in Grades K-8: 9780309102056: National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Center for Education, Board on Science Education, Committee on Science Learning, Kindergarten Through Eighth Grade, Shouse, Andrew W., Schweingruber, Heidi A., Duschl, Richard A.: Books

Review: Needed to understand the Frameworks and NGSS - Taking Science to School is clearly the foundation for the changes to move science into the 21st century. I believe any elementary teacher that is involved with science should read the book.
Review: The book needs a TL;DR section at the end of each chapter... - I had to read this for a class in my teaching program. This is probably the densest book I have ever had to read as a teacher. It could be half as long and have a much greater impact if the writing was cloaked in genre-specific language. It is written by experts on teaching science, and really can only be fully understood by other experts on teaching science. It was written for the average teacher, but the authors did not actually write for their intended audience. That is a huge shame, because there is some very good information and guidance in here. I would NOT recommend this book for anyone trying to get an early hold on best practices for teaching science.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needed to understand the Frameworks and NGSS
*by J***S on March 12, 2013*

Taking Science to School is clearly the foundation for the changes to move science into the 21st century. I believe any elementary teacher that is involved with science should read the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good but dense
*by L***E on March 1, 2008*

I found out about this study from a Boston Globe editorial, so I went to the web to read it. The study makes some great points, but it's cloaked in edu-speak and is written like a peer-reviewed article. This book could have much more impact if it was written with punchier conclusions and frankly simpler language. Does anyone know of a book that does this?
