Let's Be Scientists! takes a novel approach to science by identifying the skills that practicing scientists use and then providing a framework for teachers to integrate these skills into their classrooms. Using the book, teachers will learn how to lead students through scientific investigations and how to encourage debate, collaboration, and communication-all without sacrificing content. With numerous easy-to-understand examples and reproducible forms, this book provides teachers what they need to build an exciting science classroom. In the end, classrooms will become science labs and students will become junior scientists, practicing science in the most authentic manner possible.
