For K-12 teachers, Glasgow, a teacher and educational consultant, Cheyne (science education, U. of Pittsburgh), and Yerrick (science education, State U. of New York at Buffalo) present 75 research-based strategies related to best practices for inquiry-based science. They emphasize mastery of subject matter, scientific reasoning, practical procedural and scientific process skills, and teamwork. Also discussed are understanding the nature of science and the complexity of real empirical work, experimental design, and validity assessment as well as generating interest and motivating curiosity. Each strategy details supporting research, classroom applications, pitfalls, and sources. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
