About the Book

This new book shows middle and high school science teachers how to use evidence-based inquiry to help students achieve deeper conceptual understanding. Drawing on a wealth of research, authors Pat Brown and Jim Concannon demonstrate how direct, hands-on experience in the science classroom can enable your students to become more self-reliant learners. They also provide a plethora of model lessons aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and offer advice on how to create your own lesson plans and activities to satisfy the demands of your curriculum. With the resources in this book, you and your students will be able to ditch the textbook and embark upon an exciting and rewarding journey to scientific discovery.

Review :
"This resource is an informative, thought-provoking read, and it’s essential for anyone serious about understanding the science education research that supports the NGSS." —Victoria May, Assistant Dean of Arts & Sciences, Washington University in St. Louis "I like the way Brown and Concannon articulate the importance and usefulness of evidence-based inquiry for teachers and students. Their emphasis on 'understanding from experiences' is refreshingly reminiscent of John Dewey and the need to not only have a child’s experience at the center of our teaching but to also showcase the importance of 'Science as method' not just as subject matter. This book is very useful for teachers as they work to engage learners in science by 'providing students with immediate experiences to form accurate understandings'." —Robert W. Blake, Jr. Professor and Chair, Towson University
