High-School Biology Today and Tomorrow by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Life Sciences,Committee on High-School Biology Education Pdf

Biology is where many of science's most exciting and relevant advances are taking place. Yet, many students leave school without having learned basic biology principles, and few are excited enough to continue in the sciences. Why is biology education failing? How can reform be accomplished? This book presents information and expert views from curriculum developers, teachers, and others, offering suggestions about major issues in biology education: what should we teach in biology and how should it be taught? How can we measure results? How should teachers be educated and certified? What obstacles are blocking reform?

Middle School Life Science by Judy Capra Pdf

Student activities provide the hands-on experiences that are so important for middle-grade learners. They are used to introduce concepts, thus providing time for exploration. They are also used to reinforce concepts by providing students with opportunities to apply what they have learned. An activity consists of the following components: Introductory Paragraphs connect topics with previous lessons or to students' experiences. Focusing Questions provide the activity's purpose and encourage students to make decisions. Materials show reduced versions of worksheets and data pages. Procedures state group size, specifies the assignment, and emphasizes safety precautions. Analysis Questions encourage higher level thinking, requiring students to interpret their data. Conclusions require that students bring closure to an activity based on actual, not predicted, results. Extension Activities are often interdisciplinary and encourage students to learn more through an activity or research project. The readings build on students' experiences and help them learn from the activities. Some of the components are the same as those in the activities. Subheadings provide reading clues. Illustrations reinforce and clarify the text. Analysis Questions range from being pure recall to fairly abstract. They require that students think about the concepts, and may have students personalize or otherwise apply the concepts. Extension Activities provide opportunities for career exploration. Boxed Items often appear at the end of a lesson to extend the concepts it presents. Science Words is a listing of roots, prefixes, and suffixes that help students understand the terms used in this program Thinking Like a Scientist summarizes how students learn science in this program The comprehensive index lists the topics and terms that students may want to look up. For each technical term, a boldfaced entry shows where students can find its definition and the term used in context.

Problem-based Learning in the Life Science Classroom, K-12 by Tom J. McConnell,Joyce Parker,Janet Eberhardt Pdf

Problem-Based Learning in the Life Science Classroom, K- 12 offers a great new way to ignite your creativity. Authors Tom McConnell, Joyce Parker, and Janet Eberhardt show you how to engage students with scenarios that represent real-world science in all its messy, thought-provoking glory. The scenarios prompt K- 12 learners to immerse themselves in analyzing problems, asking questions, posing hypotheses, finding needed information, and then constructing a proposed solution. In addition to complete lesson plans supporting the Next Generation Science Standards, the book offers extensive examples, instructions, and tips. The lessons cover four categories: life cycles, ecology, genetics, and cellular metabolism. But Problem-Based Learning in the Life Science Classroom, K- 12 doesn' t just explain why, how, and when to implement problem-based learning (PBL). It also provides you with what many think is the trickiest part of the approach: rich, authentic problems. The authors facilitated the National Science Foundation- funded PBL Project for Teachers and used the problems in their own science teaching, so you can be confident that the problems and the approach are teacher tested and approved.
