Description
Like its popular counterpart for grades 6-8, the book is designed as a complete self-guided tour. It helps both novice teachers and classroom veterans to understand.
- Why sequence matters. A concise review of developmental psychology, neurosciences, cognitive science, and science education research explains why the order in which you structure your lessons is so critical.
- What you need to do. An overview of important planning considerations covers becoming an "explore-before-explain" teacher and designing 5E and POE instructional models.
- How to do it. Ready-to-teach lessons use either a POE or 5E sequence to cover heat and temperature, magnetism, electric circuits, chemical changes, ecosystems, and earth processes. Detailed examples show how specific aspects of all three dimensions of the NGSS can translate into your classroom.
- What to do next. Reflection questions will spark thinking throughout the sequencing process and help you develop the knowledge to adapt these concepts to your students' needs.
