About this title

Synopsis

Similar to the first edition, this second edition of Essentials of Elementary Science presents the essentials of pertinent research, valued classroom methodology, and current practice in teaching elementary science at a length, format, and price perfect for the undergraduate course in science methods. It is ideal for “block” courses where more than one content area's methods are taught, or for general methods courses where the instructor would like more coverage of specific subjects.
