"The Science Teacher's Toolbox offers educators hundreds of practical strategies to use in the classroom for social studies lessons. The low-prep, high-educational value strategies are accessible and student/teacher-friendly. The format for each strategy follows the practical format established by the series editors: what it is, why we like it, Common Core correlations, research basis, what it looks like in the classroom, what could go wrong, technology connections, and extensions and modifications for all types of learners. Strategies covered will include: Setting up your lab; integrating math, ELA, and arts; conducting specific types of labs, including experiment, observation, engineering, PBL, and more; using graphs; writing lab reports; analyzing data; teaching high-ability learners; working in culturally responsive classrooms; activating prior knowledge; assessing student learning; incorporating technology.
