"The Art of Teaching Science presents science teaching as a dynamic, collaborative activity and explores recent changes in the theory underlying excellent science teaching. Chapters on planning, teaching approaches, resources and assessment cover the key elements of practical science education. Controversial issues in science, equity and integration across the curriculum are also addressed. Teachers are encouraged to maximise the potential of electronic and traditional resources both in and out of the lab to engage their students." "Written by leading science educators and incorporating classroom examples and activities, The Art of Teaching Science explores the main issues science teachers face today."--BOOK JACKET.
