Uncovering Student Ideas

Like the Volume 1 bestseller that preceded it, Volume 2, published in 2007, will reveal the surprising misconceptions students (and sometimes teachers) bring to the classroom—so you can adjust your teaching to foster conceptual understanding of science. The same popular features from Volume 1 are included in this volume. New topics include characteristic properties of matter, changes in matter, heat transfer, cell size, living things and life processes, inherited traits, adaptations, rocks and landforms, the day/night cycle, and relative position and objects in the night sky. Volume 2 also suggests a variety of ways to embed the probes throughout your instruction, not just when starting a unit or topic.
