The Science in Action series is designed to teach practical science concepts to special-needs students. It is intended to develop students' problem-solving skills by teaching them to observe, record, analyze, conclude, and predict. This document contains a student workbook which deals with basic concepts about how the earth moves and its relationship to other planets and the sun. Six separate units include: (1) what is your space address; (2) the planet we live on; (3) our moon; (4) our sun; (5) our solar system; and (6) exploring our solar system. The units consist of basic introductory information and questions, worksheets, a self-checking quiz, and instructions for experiments. A cumulative test is provided at the end of the workbook, along with a glossary. The teachers guide (which is included) explains how to use the workbook, together with teaching suggestions and enrichment activities for each unit. (TW)

Make ongoing, classroom-based assessment second nature to your students and you. Everyday Assessment in the Science Classroom is a thought-provoking collection of 10 essays on the theories behind the latest assessment techniques. The authors offer in-depth "how to" suggestions on conducting assessments as a matter of routine, especially in light of high-stakes standards-based exams, using assessment to improve instruction, and involving students in the assessment process. The second in NSTA's Science Educator's Essay Collection, Everyday Assessment is designed to build confidence and enhance every teacher's ability to embed assessment into daily classwork. The book's insights will help make assessment a dynamic classroom process of fine-tuning how and what you teach... drawing students into discussions about learning, establishing criteria, doing self-assessment, and setting goals for what they will learn.
