Description

Teaching Secondary Science: Constructing Meaning and Developing Understanding is a comprehensive guide for all aspects of science teaching. This fourth edition has been fully updated to include new material, sample lesson plans, and two new chapters covering effective e-learning and supporting learners with English as a second language.

The book focuses on understanding pupils' alternative frameworks of belief, developing or challenging them, and enabling pupils to take ownership of scientific ideas. It provides illustrative and engaging lesson plans for use in the classroom, help for pupils to construct new scientific meanings, and advice on teaching 'difficult ideas' in biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences.

It also covers education for sustainable development, understanding climate change, managing the science classroom and health and safety in the laboratory, support for talk for learning, and numeracy in science. This book presents an environmentally sustainable, global approach to science teaching, supporting those undertaking secondary science PGCE, school-based routes into teaching, and Masters-level study.
