Science for All: Celebrating Cultural Diversity (NSTA Press Journals Collection)

Science professors tell all -- how to get out from behind the lectern, break away from cookbook exercises, and involve college students more deeply in their own learning. In this collection of 10 first-person articles from The Journal of College Science Teaching, the authors reveal their own best techniques for using inquiry-based learning, even with nonscience majors. (The term practicing in the title refers to the way the book helps you help students do science as it's done in the real world -- through hypothesis-building, observation, and experimental design.) A bonus: The articles are highly readable and concrete, reflecting the real-world experience of imaginative professors eager to engage students in learning the process of science.
