Editorial : From the Inside Flap Preface THE FIFTH EDITION of Activities for Teaching Science as Inquiry introduces prospective and experienced teachers to inquiry activities necessary to teach science in contemporary ways. Inquiry is both a way to teach and a way for students to investigate the world. Doing inquiry means asking simple but thoughtful questions about the world and engaging students to answer them. Inquiry incorporates the use of hands-on and process-oriented activities for the benefit of knowledge construction. Inquiry encourages students to connect their prior knowledge to observations and to use their observations as evidence to increase personal scientific knowledge. In this instructional environment, teachers act as facilitators of learning rather than "bankers" who have stored knowledge that they transfer into students' heads.

Activities for Teaching Science as Inquiry includes over 100 activities to cover essential concepts in physical, life, and earth strands. Background information is provided for teachers as well as ways to motivate learners and help them apply what they learn. Every activity follows the 5-E Model (Engaging, Exploring, Explaining, Elaborating, and Evaluating,) and is sequenced to develop science concepts in a developmentally appropriate way for grades K-8. The 5-E model is a Learning Cycle Model that reflects the NSES Science as Inquiry Standards. The inclusion of the NSES standards provides a comprehensive view of how the NSES Science Content Standards can be used to organize curriculum and inform instruction in elementary and middle school science. A series of activities are also included to meet the needs of students with exceptionalities. The book is organized into four sections: 1. Teach
The Genius of Opposites: How Introverts and Extroverts Achieve Extraordinary Results Together
The Genius of Opposites is a wonderfully written book explaining how people who are opposites, either introverts or extroverts can use the strengths and challenges of their difference in developing effective working and business relationships to achieve extraordinary results. The reason this is not a required reading in most psychology/counseling training programs is beyond me.. I read "Spain's Cause Was Mine" a couple of years ago, but I recently revisited it and was once again struck by the humanity, nobility and idealism of Hank Rubin. What an adorable children's book! And I love the illustrations. Chico Xavier and Divaldo Franco are the best Brazilian mediums ever.. This book helped me deal with my mother's alcoholism in ways that I cannot describe. Filled with clean lines, large brooding eyes that can go from calculatingly cold in one frame to smouldering desire in the next, we do ge
