| | 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 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.

|  | It's not enough for teachers to read through the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and correlate their content to the established curriculum. Teachers must prepare to make the vision of the NGSS come alive in their classrooms. Editor Jack Rhoton maintains that the preparation will be most effective if it begins in undergraduate coursework and is sustained by ongoing professional development designed to bring about real change. The goal of Preparing Teachers for Three-Dimensional Instruction is to contribute to that preparation. It was written specifically for preservice science teachers, but science education faculty and practicing K–12 teachers can also benefit from it.

| | Problem-Based Learning in the Physical Science Classroom, K–12 will help your students truly understand concepts such as motion, energy, and magnetism in true-to-life contexts. The book offers a comprehensive description of why, how, and when to implement problem-based learning (PBL) in your curriculum. Its 14 developmentally appropriate lessons cover forces and motion, energy transformation, and electricity and magnetism. The lessons' inviting titles include "Cartoon Cliff Escape" and "Rube Goldberg Machine."
This volume is the third in NSTA Press's PBL series, which also covers Earth and space science and life science.

|  | Uncovering Student Ideas in Science, Volume 1, Second Edition is the newest book in the bestselling Uncovering Student Ideas in Science series. Like the first edition of volume 1, this book helps pinpoint what your students know (or think they know) so you can monitor their learning and adjust your teaching accordingly. Loaded with classroom-friendly features you can use immediately, the book includes 25 "probes"—brief, easily administered formative assessments designed to understand your students' thinking about 60 core science concepts. All probes in this new edition are provided in both Spanish and English.

|  | With this unique book, you can introduce scientists and engineers to your students, without the hassle of scheduling guest speakers. Evoking Archimedes's famous cry, Eureka! Grade 3-5 Science Activities and Storiesuses 27 lessons linked to children's trade books to engage students in discovering who scientists and engineers are and what they do. Some of these scientists and engineers are well known, such as astronomer Galileo Galilei and primatologist Jane Goodall; others are not, such as astronomer Annie Jump Cannon and engineer William Kamkwamba. But all of their stories will help your students see scientists and engineers not as stereotypes wearing goggles and lab coats, but as real women and men.

| .png) | The 24 inquiry-based lessons in this lively collection show you how to nurture curiosity in the youngest scientists. The activities are organized into sections on animals, plants, and nature walks. Rather than merely presenting science facts to 3- to 7-year-olds, you'll prompt them to make discoveries of their own. They'll explore critter camouflage, probe pumpkin insides, make bird feeders, and more.
A Head Start on Life Science is as easy to use as it is inspiring. Each lesson includes lists of learning objectives and required materials, relevant background to help you prepare, plus at-home activities written in English and Spanish.
