UNCOVERING STUDENT IDEAS IN SCIENCE, VOL. 2: 25 MORE FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT PROBES

Book ID/图书代码： 09653014B71999

English Summary/英文概要： If Hollywood were filming this sequel, the studio would call it Probes 2: More Battles Against Misunderstandings. Like the blockbuster that came before it, Volume 2 of Uncovering Student Ideas in Science will reveal the surprising misconceptions students bring to the classroom so you can adjust your teaching to replace those ideas with a sound understanding of science. The field-tested features from Volume 1 are all here. The 25 new probes are short, easy-to-administer activities designed to determine what students at every grade level know (or think they know) about core science topics. The probes come all ready to reproduce. Accompanying teacher materials explain science content, note links to national standards, and suggest grade-appropriate ways to present material so students will learn it accurately. But where Volume 1 emphasized physical science, Volume 2 covers more life science and Earth and space science probes. New topic areas include forms of matter, changes in matter, living things and life processes, rocks and landforms, the day/night cycle, and objects in the night sky. Volume 2 also suggests ways to embed the probes throughout the course of your instruction, not just when starting a unit or topic.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果好莱坞拍摄续集,那么电影工作室可以把这部第二册参考书籍称为探索2:针对科学误读的更多战斗。就像其他好莱坞大片一样,开发学生的科学思维的第2卷，将揭示了课堂上对科学知识的众多误读,这样你就可以调整自己的教学方法，用便于理解的科学理念来重新灌输你想要传授的科学知识。经过实战演练的第一册着重于用25个简单的测试来轻松设计确定学生们所掌握的基本科学知识。而测试可以深入再进一步进行，附同老师的教科材料所揭示的科学内容，和符合国家标准的相关知识点，为学生们能正确掌握信息提供了相对应的材料。(Sandy)

Formative Assessment at its best. I like how these books are tutorials with different "teacher talk" for the audience, elementary, middle, and high school. I like this so much I had every teacher in my PD class buy them. I will be buying the third one. --Reviewed by: Nora McDevitt (Youngstown, OH) on September 1, 2008

Use in a hands-on workshop. I used the series Uncovering Student Ideas in Science in two of my workshops on lecture-free teaching. These sessions were for high school and middle school science teachers. In one instance, the teachers (with whom I had worked previously) picked one of the formative assessments, tried it in their classrooms before the scheduled workshop date, and reported to the rest of the group about how it worked. In the second instance, I brought the books to the workshop and gave the teachers about 30 minutes to find an assessment appropriate for one of their classes, make copies for the other participants, and try the assessment on the workshop participants. In both cases each presentation was followed by critique and suggestions from other workshop participants. --Reviewed by: Bonnie Wood (Presque Isle, ME) on July 24, 2008
