L'autore

Dr. Ralph Martin is Professor of Science Education at Ohio University, Athens, OH. During his 35 years as an educator, he has taught science lessons and led projects spanning K-16. His research and scholarship has produced more than 15 books and manuals (various editions) and netted millions in funding for teacher professional development in science and math. He has received numerous Ohio and national awards in recognition of his teaching and leadership and has coordinated, directed, and chaired many university programs and faculty units. Presently he serves as Chair of the Science Review Board for the Ohio Resource Center for Mathematics, Science and Reading (www.ohiorc.org) and is Co-Director of the South East Ohio Center for Excellence in Mathematics and Science (www.seocems.org), which conducts research, provides professional development programs, and supports educational improvement efforts focused on Appalachia Ohio.

Dr. Colleen Sexton is an Associate Professor of Science Education at Governors State University, University Park, IL. She is the Academic Director of the South Suburban Consortium for Grow Your Own Illinois Teachers. This initiative is designed to provide a college degree to teacher candidates committed to teaching in traditionally hard-to-staff school districts. She has a special interest in Environmental Education and effective Integration of Educational Technology in the classroom. She has traveled to Turkey and Cyprus to deliver professional development in science education to K-8 teachers and to present keynote addresses at International Technology Conferences on the effective use of educational technology tools in science classrooms. Prior to GSU she was an Associate Professor and Secondary Education Coordinator at Ohio University in Athens, OH. Dr. Sexton also served for four years as the Program Manager for the Ohio SchoolNet Plus Initiative. This $495M initiative was designed to provide one interactive workstation in the classroom for every five children throughout Ohio’s K-5 classrooms. While with Ohio SchoolNet she was also directly responsible for the professional development opportunities for the interactive video projects. From 1988-1996 Dr. Sexton served as instructor and then as an Assistant Professor for the College of Education at Ohio University, serving as Curriculum Director for the Appalachian Distance Learning Project — a 3rd grade interactive video pilot. Her K-12 experience includes eight years of high school science teaching in the Chicago area and one year of teaching introductory biology at the community college level. Her research areas include the use of handhelds in higher education, the integration of educational technology into the science curriculum, and teacher dispositions in an online learning environment.

Dr. Teresa Franklin in an Associate Professor in Instructional Technology at Ohio University, Athens, OH. Her love of teaching and learning through the integration of technology in the K-12 and higher education curriculum spans thirty years. As a science teacher in 1979, she began to use computers in her middle school Life Science and Earth Science lessons to help students gather data and solve problems. Teresa has served on the Ohio Technology Academic Content Standards Committee and the International Society for Technology in Education–National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers writing committee. Research interests include the integration of technology within the science curriculum, virtual environments for learning, handheld technologies in the classroom, and online course development.

Reviewer Praise:

“The ‘What Research Says’ sections are an excellent feature...an enjoyable and practical way to become familiar with current research!” –Pamela Kramer, East Stroudsburg University

Comprehensive and engaging, the fifth edition of Teaching Science for All Children prepares elementary teachers to help students grasp the nature of science, construct understanding of and connections between science content area materials, apply scientific processes, and understand the interactions between science, technology, and society. The more than 60 featured lessons in the text employ the “Engage, Explore, Explain, Expand, Evaluate” Learning Cycle model and incorporate National Science Education Standards across all K-8 grade levels and science disciplines–earth, space, life, and physical. Authoritative coverage of science safety, new technology, national standards, and strategies for teaching diverse learners are the hallmarks of this well-respected text.

New to this edition:

• NSES and NETS icons in the margin indicate standards-related content.
• Revamped assessment chapter helps teachers see the connection between standardized tests, teacher assessment, and rubric development.
• Increased discussion of diversity and individual differences throughout the book prepares teachers to work with students in today’s changing classroom.
• Completely revamped technology chapter incorporates ISTE standards and guides teachers to select appropriate resources and media for their lessons.
• Learning Cycle Feature Lessons in the methods chapters now integrate photos and student work samples to enhance understanding and applications of the lesson.
• New MyEducationLab feature box uses an Explore, Enrich and Expand framework for activities to engage readers with video and other media.

Also available in a compact version including only the methods chapters!
