Description
This is the teacher manual to a course for middle grade students to learn how to design and conduct an experiment. The eBook contains links to articles and videos that help demonstrate the concepts in the book. The teacher’s manual also includes teacher’s notes at the beginning of each section plus an introduction that explains the rationale behind the book. At the end of the teacher edition there is an appendix that contains additional information and lessons, including links. The book provides a step by step process that assists students in learning background information on pill bugs, how to ask testable questions, designing and conducting their experiments, and finally reporting on their results. There is also a link to a Wiki site where teachers and students can share information and experiences. This approach can be used with any topic. Pill bugs were chosen as a topic because so many kids like little creatures such as pill bugs. The author also offers workshops and webinars to help teachers present and evaluate this type of approach to teaching experimental design.
