General Note Includes the story "Lizards" in which Jenny visits her uncle in Arnhem Land during the holidays and learns a lot about Lizards. Discussion points include: what is the difference between Indigenous knowledge of the natural world and scientific knowledge?
Summary Note "The first section of 'Discussions in science' explains the theoretical basis for the approach used, citing research into teaching for understanding, cognitive acceleration in science education, constructivist pedagogies and the power of classroom discussion. The second section presents a wide range of purpose written stories to read with your class and discuss. In each story, the young protagonists discuss their experiences in science, trying to make sense of their world. They raise scientific conceptual puzzles, methodological concerns and issues relating science beyond the classroom. Notes, exercises, discussion guides and suggestions for follow-up activities show you how to deepen your teaching of science, and to lead students into a more thorough exploration of scientific concepts, methods and implications. A separate website [see foot of record for link] contains each of the 18 stories in the book, for printing out or viewing online, to facilitate classroom discussion." - Back cover.
