THE INDEXES

The seven indexes that follow are designed to allow easy access to the information, materials, and organizations annotated in this guide. For example, the curriculum annotations in chapters 1 through 4 are indexed by title, author/series, and topic. In addition, indexes on grade level and curriculum area by grade level enable readers to find materials appropriate to specific curriculum needs.

The titles of the indexes and their general focus and coverage are as follows:

  • The Title Index covers curriculum and other book and periodical titles annotated in chapters 1-4 and 6-8.

  • The Index of Names (Authors, Series, Curriculum Projects) covers chapters 1-8.

  • The Index of Topics in Curriculum Materials covers chapters 1-4, giving major topics of each module and activity book.

  • The Index of Grade Levels of Curriculum Materials by Scientific Area covers chapters 1-4.

  • The Index of Scientific Areas of Curriculum Materials by Grade Level covers chapters 1-4.

  • The Subject Index covers the content of annotations in chapters 6-8 (Teacher's References) as well as information on the structure and development of the guide presented in the Introduction, Overviews, and appendixes.

  • The Index of Ancillary Resources (Places to Visit/Organizations) covers chapters 9-10.

Throughout the indexes, the locator numbers in italic refer to page numbers. All other references are to entry numbers.

INDEX OF GRADE LEVELS OF CURRICULUM MATERIALS BY SCIENTIFIC AREA

INDEX OF GRADE LEVELS OF CURRICULUM MATERIALS BY SCIENTIFIC AREA

Identical information is presented in the two grade-levels indexes. The information is simply arranged differently:

• In this index, the disciplines (Earth Science, Life Science, Multidisciplinary and Applied Science, and Physical Science) are arranged under the grades (PreK-6).

• In the Index of Scientific Areas of Curriculum Materials by Grade Level, the grades are arranged under the disciplines.

As in chapters 1-4 to which these two indexes refer, the curriculum materials for each discipline are divided in the categories core, supplementary, and science activity books.

INDEX OF SCIENTIFIC AREAS OF CURRICULUM MATERIALS BY GRADE LEVEL

Identical information is presented in the two grade-levels indexes. The information is simply arranged differently

• In this index, the grades (PreK-6) are arranged under the disciplines (Earth Science, Life Science, Multidisciplinary and Applied Science, and Physical Science).

• In the index of Grade Levels of Curriculum Materials by Scientific Area, the disciplines are arranged under the grades.

As in chapters 1-4 to which these two indexes refer, the curriculum materials for each discipline are divided in the categories core supplementary , and science activity books.

What activities might a teacher use to help children explore the life cycle of butterflies? What does a science teacher need to conduct a "leaf safari" for students? Where can children safely enjoy hands-on experience with life in an estuary? Selecting resources to teach elementary school science can be confusing and difficult, but few decisions have greater impact on the effectiveness of science teaching.

Educators will find a wealth of information and expert guidance to meet this need in Resources for Teaching Elementary School Science. A completely revised edition of the best-selling resource guide Science for Children: Resources for Teachers, this new book is an annotated guide to hands-on, inquiry-centered curriculum materials and sources of help in teaching science from kindergarten through sixth grade. (Companion volumes for middle and high school are planned.)

The guide annotates about 350 curriculum packages, describing the activities involved and what students learn. Each annotation lists recommended grade levels, accompanying materials and kits or suggested equipment, and ordering information.

These 400 entries were reviewed by both educators and scientists to ensure that they are accurate and current and offer students the opportunity to:

  • Ask questions and find their own answers.
  • Experiment productively.
  • Develop patience, persistence, and confidence in their own ability to solve real problems.

The entries in the curriculum section are grouped by scientific area—Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, and Multidisciplinary and Applied Science—and by type—core materials, supplementary materials, and science activity books. Additionally, a section of references for teachers provides annotated listings of books about science and teaching, directories and guides to science trade books, and magazines that will help teachers enhance their students' science education.

Resources for Teaching Elementary School Science also lists by region and state about 600 science centers, museums, and zoos where teachers can take students for interactive science experiences. Annotations highlight almost 300 facilities that make significant efforts to help teachers.

Another section describes more than 100 organizations from which teachers can obtain more resources. And a section on publishers and suppliers give names and addresses of sources for materials.

The guide will be invaluable to teachers, principals, administrators, teacher trainers, science curriculum specialists, and advocates of hands-on science teaching, and it will be of interest to parent-teacher organizations and parents.
