Pamela Walker, "Chemistry Experiments"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0816081727 | 177 pages | PDF | 4,8 MB
For centuries, humans have studied and explored the natural world around them. The ever-growing body of knowledge resulting from these efforts is
science. Information gained through science is passed from one generation to the next through an array of educational programs. One of the primary goals of every science education program is to help young people develop criticalthinking and problem-solving skills that they can use throughout their lives.
Science education is unique in academics in that it not only conveys facts and skills; it also cultivates curiosity and creativity. For this reason, science is an active process that cannot be fully conveyed by passive teaching techniques.
The question for educators has always been, “What is the best way to teach science?” There is no simple answer to this question, but studies in education provide useful insights.
Research indicates that students need to be actively involved in science, learning it through experience. Science students are encouraged to go far
beyond the textbook and to ask questions, consider novel ideas, form their own predictions, develop experiments or procedures, collect information, record results, analyze findings, and use a variety of resources to expand knowledge.
In other words, students cannot just hear science; they must also do science. “Doing” science means performing experiments. In the science curriculum, experiments play a number of educational roles. In some cases, hands-on activities serve as hooks to engage students and introduce new topics. For example, a discrepant event used as an introductory experiment encourages questions and inspires students to seek the answers behind their findings.
Classroom investigations can also help expand information that was previously introduced or cement new knowledge. According to neuroscience, experiments and other types of hands-on learning help transfer new learning from short-term into long-term memory.
Science Experiments is a multivolume set of experiments that helps engage students and enable them to “do” science. The high-interest
experiments in these books put students’ minds into gear and give them opportunities to become involved, to think independently, and to build on their own base of science knowledge.
