Sensemaking in Elementary Science by Elizabeth Davis

In line with current reform efforts, including the Next Generation Science Standards, this volume offers concrete pathways to redirect attention away from activity-oriented and vocabulary-centered elementary science teaching and toward elementary science teaching that privileges sensemaking.

Rigid school curricula emphasizing and assessing low-level skills perpetuate the wildly damaging assumption that elementary learners are incapable of engaging in substantive intellectual workSensemaking in Elementary Science offers an aspirational, yet achievable vision for science teaching and teacher education to guide bold changes in the landscape of elementary science. This book will become a well-worn, go-to resource for those working to make high-quality elementary science a reality.
