The Really Useful Science Book A Framework of Knowledge for Primary Teachers

Teaching Science in Diverse Classrooms Real Science for Real Students

Teaching Science in Diverse Classrooms Real Science for Real Students

As a distinctive voice in science education writing Douglas Larkin provides a fresh perspective for science teachers who work to make real science accessible to all K-12 students. Through compelling anecdotes and vignettes this book draws deeply on research to present a vision of successful and inspiring science teaching that builds upon the prior knowledge experiences and interests of students. With empathy for the challenges faced by contemporary science teachers Teaching Science in Diverse Classrooms encourages teachers to embrace the intellectual task of engaging their students in learning science and offers an abundance of examples of what high-quality science teaching for all students looks like. Divided into three sections this book is a connected set of chapters around the central idea that the decisions made by good science teachers help light the way for their students along both familiar and unfamiliar pathways to understanding. The book addresses topics and issues that occur in the daily lives and career arcs of science teachers such as: • Aiming for culturally relevant science teaching • Eliciting and working with students’ ideas • Introducing discussion and debate • Reshaping school science with scientific practices • Viewing science teachers as science learners Grounded in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) this is a perfect supplementary resource for both preservice and inservice teachers and teacher educators that addresses the intellectual challenges of teaching science in contemporary classrooms and models how to enact effective reform | Teaching Science in Diverse Classrooms Real Science for Real Students

Handbook of Computational Social Science Volume 2 Data Science Statistical Modelling and Machine Learning Methods

The Handbook of Computational Social Science is a comprehensive reference source for scholars across multiple disciplines. It outlines key debates in the field showcasing novel statistical modeling and machine learning methods and draws from specific case studies to demonstrate the opportunities and challenges in CSS approaches. The Handbook is divided into two volumes written by outstanding internationally renowned scholars in the field. This second volume focuses on foundations and advances in data science statistical modeling and machine learning. It covers a range of key issues including the management of big data in terms of record linkage streaming and missing data. Machine learning agent-based and statistical modeling as well as data quality in relation to digital trace and textual data as well as probability non-probability and crowdsourced samples represent further foci. The volume not only makes major contributions to the consolidation of this growing research field but also encourages growth into new directions. With its broad coverage of perspectives (theoretical methodological computational) international scope and interdisciplinary approach this important resource is integral reading for advanced undergraduates postgraduates and researchers engaging with computational methods across the social sciences as well as those within the scientific and engineering sectors. | Handbook of Computational Social Science Volume 2 Data Science Statistical Modelling and Machine Learning Methods

The Really Useful Book of Secondary Science Experiments 101 Essential Activities to Support Teaching and Learning

The Really Useful Book of Secondary Science Experiments 101 Essential Activities to Support Teaching and Learning

How can a potato be a battery? How quickly will a shark find you? What food should you take with you when climbing a mountain? The Really Useful Book of Secondary Science Experiments presents 101 exciting ‘real-world’ science experiments that can be confidently carried out by any KS3 science teacher in a secondary school classroom. It offers a mix of classic experiments together with fresh ideas for investigations designed to engage students help them see the relevance of science in their own lives and develop a passion for carrying out practical investigations. Covering biology chemistry and physics topics each investigation is structured as a problem-solving activity asking engaging questions such as ‘How can fingerprints help solve a crime?’ or ‘Can we build our own volcano?’ Background science knowledge is given for each experiment together with learning objectives a list of materials needed safety and technical considerations detailed method ideas for data collection advice on how to adapt the investigations for different groups of students useful questions to ask the students and suggestions for homework. Additionally there are ten ideas for science based projects that can be carried out over a longer period of time utilising skills and knowledge that students will develop as they carrying out the different science investigations in the book. The Really Useful Book of Secondary Science Experiments will be an essential source of support and inspiration for all those teaching in the secondary school classroom running science clubs and for parents looking to challenge and excite their children at home. | The Really Useful Book of Secondary Science Experiments 101 Essential Activities to Support Teaching and Learning

Citizen Science for Coastal and Marine Conservation

Citizen Science for Coastal and Marine Conservation

In recent years citizen science has emerged as a powerful new concept to enable the general public students and volunteers to become involved in scientific research. A prime example is in biodiversity conservation where data collection and monitoring can be greatly enhanced through citizen participation. This is the first book to provide much needed guidance and case studies from marine and coastal conservation. The novelty and rapid expansion of the field has created a demand for the discussion of key issues and the development of best practices. The book demonstrates the utility and feasibility as well as limitations of using marine and coastal citizen science for conservation and by providing critical considerations (i. e. which questions and systems are best suited for citizen science) presents recommendations for best practices for successful marine and coastal citizen science projects. A range of case studies for example on monitoring of seabird populations invasive species plastics pollution and the impacts of climate change from different parts of the world is included. Also included are discussions on engaging youth indigenous communities and divers and snorkelers as citizen scientists as well as best practices on communication within citizen science building trust with stakeholders and informing marine policy as part of this exciting and empowering way of improving marine and coastal conservation. . | Citizen Science for Coastal and Marine Conservation

A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness

A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness

This book attempts to advance Donald Griffin's vision of the final crowning chapter of the Darwinian revolution by developing a philosophy for the science of animal consciousness. It advocates a Darwinian bottom-up approach that treats consciousness as a complex evolved and multidimensional phenomenon in nature rather than a mysterious all-or-nothing property immune to the tools of science and restricted to a single species. The so-called emergence of a science of consciousness in the 1990s has at best been a science of human consciousness. This book aims to advance a true Darwinian science of consciousness in which its evolutionary origin function and phylogenetic diversity are moved from the field’s periphery to its very centre thus enabling us to integrate consciousness into an evolutionary view of life. Accordingly this book has two objectives: (i) to argue for the need and possibility of an evolutionary bottom-up approach that addresses the problem of consciousness in terms of the evolutionary origins of a new ecological lifestyle that made consciousness worth having and (ii) to articulate a thesis and beginnings of a theory of the place of consciousness as a complex evolved phenomenon in nature that can help us to answer the question of what it is like to be a bat an octopus or a crow. A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness will appeal to researchers and advanced students interested in advancing our understanding of animal minds as well as anyone with a keen interest in how we can develop a science of animal consciousness.
