Making Sense of SCIENCE™: Energy for Teachers of Grades 6-8

"At last we have an outstanding professional development resource that takes into account both students' and teachers' ideas and leads teachers through a collaborative process that makes a measurable difference in their teaching and student achievement. By engaging in sense making using well-developed teaching dilemmas, teachers can better understand their students' ideas and take deliberate actions to address them through improved understanding of content and how to teach that content."
— Page Keeley (Past-President of the National Science Teachers Association and author of the Uncovering Student Ideas in Science series)
