Teaching science through discovery

Showing teachers how a guided discovery approach to teaching science can ignite children's interest, this text offers activities to stimulate a child's natural curiosity and guided questioning techniques to elicit insights and personal discovery. The work provides resource information on planning, organizing and running a guided discovery science programme in pre-school, junior and secondary school settings. It suggests ways of integrating science teaching into oral and written language, social studies, art, mathematics, music and physical education.
