"Teaching and Learning Science consists of 66 chapters written by more than 90 leading educators and scientists. The contributions are informed by cutting-edge theory and research and address numerous issues that are central to K-12 education." " The book is arranged according to themes that are central to science education: language and scientific literacy, home and school relationships, equity, new roles for teachers and students, connecting science to other areas of the curriculum, resources for teachers and learners, and science in the news. The authors address controversial topics such as evolution, and present alternative ways to think about teaching, learning, the outcomes of science education, and issues associated with high stakes testing. In addition, relationships between science and literacy are explored in terms of art and science, making sense of visuals in textbooks, reading, writing, children's literature, and uses of comics to represent science."--Publisher's website.
