Summary
ARLINGTON, Va., May 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Brain-Powered Science is the ideal resource for middle and high school teachers looking to stimulate students' thinking. Thirty-three hands-on activities based on the science of a "discrepant event" -- an experiment or demonstration in which the outcome is not what students expect -- will motivate students to reconsider preconceived notions and think about what has actually occurred.
Author Thomas O'Brien invites teachers to actively participate in the thought-provoking demonstrations, challenging them to question and revise their own assumptions about the nature of science, teaching, and learning. The dual-purpose activities, which are each analogous to a pedagogical principle, will uncover unpredicted results for both student and teacher, leading to a deeper understanding of science concepts.See the full content of this document
