This chapter focuses on strategies you can use as you work with students to develop their understanding of science concepts. After reviewing the research on effective science instruction, six instructional strategies are provided to help develop student understanding. Table 3.1 provides an overview of all of the strategies. Remember, the strategies help you focus on the question “Who is working harder?” Your lessons should be structured such that the answer is “The students!” As a result of this chapter, it is hoped that you will understand the suggested strategies for developing student understanding and be able to apply them to your classroom.
