Elementary Science Methods: A Constructivist Approach (What’s New in Education) is a pioneering text that guides educators in mastering a constructivist teaching methodology for elementary science. Authored by David Martin, this influential resource is built on the core belief that fostering children’s ability to do science is more crucial than merely learning about it. It empowers teachers, emphasizing their role as co-inquirers with students, rather than requiring extensive prior scientific knowledge. The book features over 170 process-oriented activities, thoughtfully organized by grade level, designed to inspire practicing teachers to encourage children in developing and performing their own scientific investigations.
