eBook Version You will receive access to this electronic text via email after using the shopping cart above to complete your purchase. Doing Science with Children is a step-by-step guide to inquiry in physical, earth and life science for parents, teachers, and informal educators. This text targets those studying to be teachers, already teaching, or interested in helping children learn about science.Doing Science with Children will help you find your own path to discovering the properties and patterns of the natural world through your own experiences and help develop the skills of a scientist, including experimental and communication skills. Doing Science with Children will guide you each step of the way as you learn to observe and explore and to ask your own questions. Ideally, you will bring at least one child with you as you work your way through the guided experiences in this book. Hopefully, you will come to think of yourself as a scientist too!

Awesome Algebra: Looking for Patterns and GeneralizationsWe do not usually think of algebra as a topic for the elementary mathematics classroom. However, algebra is one of the five major content strands outlined by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000). Looking for patterns, extending a pattern, making a generalization about a pattern -- all are part of algebraic thinking. So we talk about algebraic thinking or reasoning as opposed to the formal study of algebra. In our Project M³ unit Awesome Algebra: Looking for Patterns and Generalizations, students are encouraged to study patterns and determine how they change, how they can be extended or repeated and/or how they grow. They then move beyond this to organize the information systematically and analyze it to develop generalizations about the mathematical relationships in the patterns. There is a strong focus on mathematical discourse revolving around how to verbalize a generalization. During Awesome Algebra: Looking for Patterns and Generalizations students will be encouraged to use the idea of a variable as they think about how to represent a rule. This will help them become aware of the usefulness of a variable when representing a generalization. Our emphasis on number patterns is designed to challenge mathematically talented students by encouraging them to take a new look at basic number concepts, that is, arithmetic from an algebraic perspective. Students will become better estimators and give have effective tools to perform computation mentally. We hope that the experiences and discussions in the unit will provide a rich context for introducing students to algebraic thinking and strengthen their reasoning and communication skills. Student Mathematician's Journal The Student Mathematician's Journal is a unique feature of every unit in the Project M³ : Mentoring Mathematical Minds series, encouraging students to communicate in writing. It includes the student worksheets from each lesson. In these journals we ask students to reflect on what they have learned and write about it; in effect, they are working and acting like real mathematicians when they do this.

No Bullies in the Huddle is a story of how students can deal with the issue of bullying. Cameron Matthews and his family relocate from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. He loves to play the game of football and his favorite player is Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, DeSean Jackson. Shortly after arriving at his new school, Cameron has a confrontation with an older student who is jealous of his football talents and threatens to take his position on the football field. Cameron is urged by one of his new friends to confide in an adult. Good advice for students to share among each other.
