Full Description
How to engineer change in your high school science classroom
With the implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards, your students won't just be scientists—they'll be engineers. But that doesn't mean you need to reinvent the wheel. Respected science educator Cary Sneider has done the groundwork for you, collecting a full range of time-tested curriculum materials to seamlessly weave engineering and technology concepts into your math and science lessons.
In this volume, you'll find descriptions of instructional materials specifically created for—and tested in—high school science classrooms. Features include:
A handy table that takes you straight to the chapters most relevant to your needs
In-depth commentaries and illustrative examples that demystify engineering curricula at the high school level
A vivid picture of what each curriculum looks like in the classroom, the learning goals it accomplishes, and how it helps address the NGSS
More information on the integration of engineering and technology into 21st-century science classrooms—and why it will make a difference
One of the most well-respected science educators in the country, Cary Sneider was an NGSS Writing Team Leader and is an associate research professor at Portland State University.
