Integrating the national science education standards into classroom practice

"This brief volume helps bridge the gap between theory and practice. It offers readers a tool to understand not only what the National Science Education Standards (NSES) are, but also how they can enrich science teaching and learning to promote scientific literacy for all." "In addition to offering clear descriptions of each of the six standards, Integrating the National Science Education Standards into Classroom Practice also: provides sample activities; includes artifacts from K-12 classrooms; presents examples; and illustrates best practices."--BOOK JACKET
