Chapters 6–13 share grades 3–5 model lessons for putting the “explore-before-explain” mind-set into practice. This chapter explores a phenomenon related to the lesson title and begins with an engagement activity that uses formative assessments to evaluate students’ ideas about magnets. The chapter provides the foundation for exploring why starting with students’ ideas and explorations is important in science learning, and it shows teachers how they can connect scientific explanations to students’ misconceptions and experiences. The activity box included is meant to provide a professional development experience and promote job-embedded learning. Teacher background information, safety notes, standards, and assessments are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Foreword, Acknowledgments, About the Author, Preface, Introduction, References, and Index.
