See how to combine best practices in science and in literacy. Here, grade 3-4 teachers get a ready-resource for engaging students in hands-on science using Bybee's inquiry based 5E framework, children's literature, and literacy and thinking tools. Using a cognitive, constructivist perspective, this book shows how to involve students in the scientific processes of Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration and Evaluation, which foster learning through discovery and parallel the processes literate individuals use.
