General Note Originally published in 2011 by NSTA [National Science Teachers Association] Press, Arlington VA, USA. Correlates with the Australian Curriculum: Science.
Summary Note "How can water and five-cent coin demonstrate the power of mathematics and molecular theory? How can units synergistically integrate curriculum-instruction-assessment via the 5E cycle? Do spelling and punctuation really matter to the human brain? How can reading in science classrooms become an essential constructivist component of research-informed best-practice teaching? Designed for science teachers of Years 6-12, 'Even more brain-powered science' uses the questions above and 11 other inquiry-oriented, discrepant events - hands-on explorations or demonstrations in which the outcomes are not what students expect - to dispute misconceptions and challenge students to critically examine empirical evidence, draw logical inferences and sceptically review their initial explanations with their peers. These interactive, multi-day instructional sequences (and extension activities) use readily available, inexpensive materials to engage the natural curiosity of both teachers and students and create new levels of scientific understanding." - Back cover.
