desertcart.com: Primary Science: Taking the Plunge: 9780325003863: Harlen, Wynne: Books Review: Great for elementary teachers! - This book was a required text for my science methods class. I found this book not only necessary for the class, but full of information that I know I will use in my own classroom. I did not sell this book back but instead added it to the "few" books that I have kept throughout my courses. The ideas presented in this book are ones that will help me to be a better science teacher, and engage my students in science. I highly recommend this book for elementary teachers that will be teaching science! Review: Primary Science: Take the Plunge - I am using this book in a college course were we read and do discussions on the chapters. The chapter subjects are somewhat boring to me, but the ideas on how to teach elementary students how to start observing the surroundings in their community, in relation to the scientific process. Teaching them how to properly observe and communicate at an early age is very important. Not bad, chapters are to the point and there are only 9 chapters to read. With the school systems being in the process of changing to common core standards, this book gives excellent ideas on how to engage students in their learning. Teach them how to explore, explain what they have found in their research. It also talks about making your classroom a supportive one that encourages communication among all students. I like the book.
