Are you interested in helping your elementary students learn the practices of science, including constructing explanations and engaging in argument from evidence? Argument-Driven Inquiry in Fourth-Grade Science will provide you with both the information and instructional materials you need to start right away. The book is a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations. It' s designed to help your third graders work the way scientists do while integrating literacy and math at the same time. With the Student Workbook for Argument-Driven Inquiry in Fourth-Grade Science, you' ll have all the student materials you need to guide your students through these investigations. It provides lab details, safety information, and handouts to get your students ready to start investigating. It presents a well-organized series of 15 field-tested investigations designed to be much more authentic for instruction than traditional activities. The investigations cover energy, waves and their application in technologies for information transfer, molecules and organisms, and Earth' s place in the universe and systems. Students can investigate questions such as these: How does the kinetic energy of a moving object change after a collision? How can you make an electrical car move faster? And why do big waves block the entrance to some New Zealand harbors? The Student Workbook book is part of NSTA' s best-selling series about ADI in middle school and high school science. Like its predecessors, this collection is designed to be easy to use. The lessons also support the Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics. The book can also help emerging bilingual students meet the English Language Proficiency Standards. Many of today' s elementary school teachers-- like you-- want new ways to engage students in scientific practices and help students learn more from classroom activities. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Fourth-Grade Science, with its accompanying Student Workbook, does all of this while giving students the chance to practice reading, writing, speaking, and using mathematics in the context of science.

Are you interested in using argument-driven inquiry for middle school lab instruction but just aren’t sure how to do it? Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physical Science will provide you with both the information and instructional materials you need to start using this method right away. The book is a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations to help physical science students work the way scientists do. The book is divided into two basic parts: 1. An introduction to the stages of argument-driven inquiry—from question identification, data analysis, and argument development and evaluation to double-blind peer review and report revision. 2. A well-organized series of 22 field-tested labs designed to be much more authentic for instruction than traditional laboratory activities. The labs cover four core ideas in physical science: matter, motion and forces, energy, and waves. Students dig into important content and learn scientific practices as they figure out everything from how thermal energy works to what could make an action figure jump higher. The authors are veteran teachers who know your time constraints, so they designed the book with easy-to-use reproducible student pages, teacher notes, and checkout questions. The labs also support today’s standards and will help your students learn the core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and scientific practices found in the Next Generation Science Standards. In addition, the authors offer ways for students to develop the disciplinary skills outlined in the Common Core State Standards. Many of today’s middle school teachers—like you—want to find new ways to engage students in scientific practices and help students learn more from lab activities. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physical Science does all of this while also giving students the chance to practice reading, writing, speaking, and using math in the context of science.

If you' re looking for labs that cover Earth and space science, appeal to middle and high school students, and use Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI), your search is over. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Earth and Space Science provides 23 field-tested labs that cover the universe, Earth, and weather. It also helps you make the instructional shift to ADI. This innovative approach to inquiry prompts students to use argument to construct, support, and evaluate scientific claims. The book starts with guidance on how to use ADI. Then it provides labs that cover five disciplinary core ideas in Earth and space science: Earth' s place in the universe, the history of Earth, Earth' s systems, weather and climate, and Earth and human activity. Your students will explore important content and discover scientific practices. They can investigate everything from how the seasons work to what causes geological formations and even consider where NASA should send a space probe next to look for signs of life. This volume is the latest in NSTA' s teacher-friendly ADI series. The authors are veteran teachers who know the importance of connecting all investigations to today' s standards-- and of providing the information and instructional materials you need in one useful resource that combines literacy, math, and science. Use these new investigations to help students develop science proficiency by figuring out how and why things work, not just learning theories and laws.

"This book is divided into 5 sections. Section 1 includes two chapters: the first chapter describes the ADI instructional model, and the second chapter describes the development of the ADI lab investigations and provides an overview of what is included with each investigation. Sections 2-4 contain the 17 lab investigations. Each investigation includes three components: Teacher Notes, a Lab Handout, and Checkout Questions. Section 5 consists of five appendixes that include standards alignment matrixes, an overview of the CCs and the NOSK and NOSI concepts that are a focus of the lab investigations, options (in tabular format) for implementing an ADI investigation over multiple 50-minute class periods, options for investigation proposals, which students can use as graphic organizers to plan an investigation, and two versions of a peer-review guide and teacher scoring rubric (one for high school and one for AP)"--

Humans, especially children, are naturally curious. Yet, people often balk at the thought of learning scienceâ€"the "eyes glazed over" syndrome. Teachers may find teaching science a major challenge in an era when science ranges from the hardly imaginable quark to the distant, blazing quasar. Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards is the book that educators have been waiting forâ€"a practical guide to teaching inquiry and teaching through inquiry, as recommended by the National Science Education Standards. This will be an important resource for educators who must help school boards, parents, and teachers understand "why we can't teach the way we used to." "Inquiry" refers to the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and in which students grasp science knowledge and the methods by which that knowledge is produced. This book explains and illustrates how inquiry helps students learn science content, master how to do science, and understand the nature of science. This book explores the dimensions of teaching and learning science as inquiry for K-12 students across a range of science topics. Detailed examples help clarify when teachers should use the inquiry-based approach and how much structure, guidance, and coaching they should provide. The book dispels myths that may have discouraged educators from the inquiry-based approach and illuminates the subtle interplay between concepts, processes, and science as it is experienced in the classroom. Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards shows how to bring the standards to life, with features such as classroom vignettes exploring different kinds of inquiries for elementary, middle, and high school and Frequently Asked Questions for teachers, responding to common concerns such as obtaining teaching supplies. Turning to assessment, the committee discusses why assessment is important, looks at existing schemes and formats, and addresses how to involve students in assessing their own learning achievements. In addition, this book discusses administrative assistance, communication with parents, appropriate teacher evaluation, and other avenues to promoting and supporting this new teaching paradigm.
