Visible learning for science, grades K-12 : what works best to optimize student learning / John Almarode, Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, John Hattie.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Science made visible -- Surface science learning made visible -- Deep science learning made visible -- Transfer learning made visible -- Science learning made visible through evaluation.

"Like its bestselling predecessors, Visible Learning for Literacy and Visible Learning for Math, this book will show teachers how to choose the right approach at the right time, depending upon where learners are within three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. The result is "visible" learning that is apparent to both teachers and students. The common framework is forged out of current research in science combined with John Hattie's synthesis of more than 15 years of education research involving 300 million students. Tackling science topics such as inquiry, laboratories, project-based learning, and discovery learning, the reader will learn how to choose the best instructional strategies as well as how to differentiate instruction. Examples throughout will cover grades K-12 and incorporate the major areas within science (e.g., life, physical, earth and space, chemistry, etc)"-- Provided by publisher.
