After introducing the framework and explaining how it supports the standards, the book shows you how to implement the concept through 14 lessons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the book is specifically for elementary grades, the author made it a teach-ready resource that integrates science into your packed school days. You get clear and accessible background information, practical guidance on how to use the lessons, and developmentally appropriate assessments and handouts. You even find out how to develop your own socioscientific issues curriculum.","brand":"National Science Teachers Association","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042083045719,"sku":"9781681406299","price":43.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781681406299.jpg?v=1750952942","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/its-still-debatable-using-socioscientific-issues-to-develop-scientific-literacy-k-5-9781681406299","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
