Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding (A Science Curriculum for K-2)

Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding - A Science Curriculum for K-2 by Bernard J. Nebel, Ph.D.

This is the most comprehensive science curriculum for beginning leaners that you will find anywhere!

There are 41 lesson plans that cover all major areas of science in this book. The lessons are laid out as stepping stones that build knowledge and understanding logically and systematically.

The child-centered, hands-on activites are the core of all lessons that bring children to observe, think, and reason.

Interest is maintained and learning is solidified by constantly connecting lessons with children's real-world experience.

Skills of inquiry become habits of mind as they are used throughout this book. Lessons integrate reading, writing, geography, and other subjects.

Standards, including developing a broader, supportive community of science learners come about as a natural by-product of learning science in an organized way.

Particular background or experience is not required. Instructions include guiding children to question, observe, think, interpret, and draw rational conclusions in addition to performing the activities. Teachers can learn along with their students and be exceptional role models in doing so. The need for specialized materials is minimized. Personal, online support is available through a Yahoo group and is free of charge.
