Teaching Science Through Inquiry-Based Instruction offers theory and practical guidance for elementary and middle school educators to support their students’ grasp of science. Crafted during a period of significant evolution in science education, this book addresses the current state and anticipated future of science instruction in elementary and middle schools. Readers will delve into the essence of science, its significance in today’s world, developments in science education, and national science standards.

The Thirteenth Edition has been expanded to encompass information about the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Performance Expectations for all elementary grade-level activities, in addition to the National Science Education Standards (NSES). Furthermore, the book aims to propose practical approaches to effectively integrate inquiry into the science classroom by drawing connections to A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas and the 5E Instructional Model. Each chapter concludes with recommended discussion questions and professional practice activities to encourage contemplation and further learning. Fresh NGSS-aligned classroom activities showcase instances of instruction that integrate the three dimensions of science. The Enhanced Pearson eText delivers a dynamic, interactive learning setting designed to enhance student mastery of content with integrated videos, assessment quizzes, and an activity library.
