The Learning Elementary Science is a series consisting of five books (Classes 1 to 5), based on the latest curriculum and guidelines laid down by NCERT in its National Curriculum Framework (NCF). The main focus is given on the development of different skills as per NEP 2020. In this revised edition, various elements of NEP 2020 are incorporated to facilitate the shift from rote learning to skill building. The emphasis is also given to develop higher order thinking skills in children including communication, creativity and critical thinking. Life skills along with inculcation of healthy habits are also discussed to promote a holistic approach towards the protection of the environment and conservation of nature. This series: • aims at encouraging inventiveness and competence in children. • follows a thematic approach of the concepts. • introduces each chapter with an interesting and interactive warm up section to recall the previous knowledge related to the concept. • presents language in simple and easy to follow manner, considering the age appropriateness of children. • contains vibrant colourful illustrations and pictures to grab the interest and attention of children as well as for clarity of the concepts. • adopts collaborative approach that leads to interaction of both students and teacher in the process of learning. • provides well-formulated questions, which address the different cognitive levels and various skills, as per NEP 2020 (Art Integration, Case Study Based, Application, Critical Thinking, Experiential Learning, Problem Solving, Exploration, etc) of students. • includes Life Skills that are helpful in real life situations. • raises the environmental awareness among children as well as its conservation and protection from the very young age. We are sure this series will make learning science a fascinating, effective and engaging process for the learners. Looking forward to your valuable suggestions. Author

I Explore A Science Textbook for Class 1 comprehensively provides all the materials required for effective learning of the different elementary aspects of science. I Explore is an eight-level series of textbooks in science for school students. As envisaged in the National Curriculum Framework (2005) guidelines, these books have been designed to present science as a living body of knowledge where students are encouraged and guided to make exploratory forays of their own. These books comprehensively deal with all the elementary aspects of science in a graded manner and help in forming basic ideas about nature and the immediate environment of a child.

Teaching Science in Elementary and Middle School offers in-depth information about the fundamental features of project-based science and strategies for implementing the approach. In project-based science classrooms students investigate, use technology, develop artifacts, collaborate, and make products to show what they have learned. Paralleling what scientists do, project-based science represents the essence of inquiry and the nature of science. Because project-based science is a method aligned with what is known about how to help all children learn science, it not only helps students learn science more thoroughly and deeply, it also helps them experience the joy of doing science. Project-based science embodies the principles in A Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards. Blending principles of learning and motivation with practical teaching ideas, this text shows how project-based learning is related to ideas in the Framework and provides concrete strategies for meeting its goals. Features include long-term, interdisciplinary, student-centered lessons; scenarios; learning activities, and "Connecting to Framework for K–12 Science Education" textboxes. More concise than previous editions, the Fourth Edition offers a wealth of supplementary material on a new Companion Website, including many videos showing a teacher and class in a project environment.

In the best science classrooms, teachers see learning through the eyes of their students, and students view themselves as explorers. But with so many instructional approaches to choose from—inquiry, laboratory, project-based learning, discovery learning—which is most effective for student success? In Visible Learning for Science, the authors reveal that it’s not which strategy, but when, and plot a vital K-12 framework for choosing the right approach at the right time, depending on where students are within the three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. Synthesizing state-of-the-art science instruction and assessment with over fifteen years of John Hattie’s cornerstone educational research, this framework for maximum learning spans the range of topics in the life and physical sciences. Employing classroom examples from all grade levels, the authors empower teachers to plan, develop, and implement high-impact instruction for each phase of the learning cycle: Surface learning: when, through precise approaches, students explore science concepts and skills that give way to a deeper exploration of scientific inquiry. Deep learning: when students engage with data and evidence to uncover relationships between concepts—students think metacognitively, and use knowledge to plan, investigate, and articulate generalizations about scientific connections. Transfer learning: when students apply knowledge of scientific principles, processes, and relationships to novel contexts, and are able to discern and innovate to solve complex problems. Visible Learning for Science opens the door to maximum-impact science teaching, so that students demonstrate more than a year’s worth of learning for a year spent in school.
