This text's useful two-part structure offers a comprehensive source of methods, content, and activities for preservice elementary science educators. Part I provides background and teaching strategies, while Part II explains science concepts followed by activities to teach them. Especially useful for preservice and inservice teachers, the activities include "Teacher Information" and "For Problem Solvers" sections to aid in activity implementation and extensions. The authors' personal writing style is reader friendly, helping students feel comfortable with science to better prepare them for the classroom.
