Investigating Safely

A Guide for High School Teachers

By: Juliana Texley,Terry Kwan,John Summers

Just as high school science is more complex than it is at lower grade levels, so are the safety issues you face in your classes and labs. Reduce the risks to people and place with Investigating Safety, the tried and most advanced and detalled volume in NSTA's unique series of safety guidebooks for science teachers. Some of the guide's 11 chapters deal with the special safety requirements of specific disciplines; physics, chemistry, Earth and space sciences, and biology. Others cover topics every high school teacher must grapple with, including equipping labs; storing and disposing of chemicals and other hazardous materials; maintaining documentation; and organizing field trips. You'll learn not only how to accommodate students with specials needs but also how to make every student a partner in safer science. Classroom veterans themselves, the authors have organized the book with practicality in mind. Safety concepts are discussed in the context of common situations in real classrooms. Sidebars and inserts in every chapter highlight and reinforce important material. Key informatin is selectively repeated in different chapters so you won't have to flip back and forth. And permission slips, student contracts, and other sample forms are included for adapting to your needs. With scrutiny of teachers' practices and concerns about liability accelerating, Investigating Safely belongs on the bookshelf of every high school science teacher, and every science supervisor.

Science Safety in the Community College

By: John Summers,Juliana Texley,Terry Kwan

NSTA's safety guidebooks are must-haves for science educators teaching at any level to lay a sound safety foundation in their labs and classrooms. Divided by grade band; elementary, middle, high, and college, the four titles provide confidence-building tips and techniques for recognizing and safely working with an ever-increasing array of hazardous materials. Classroom veterans themselves, the authors have organized the books with practicality in mind. Safety concepts are discussed in the context of common situations in real classrooms. Chapters address both general topics such as equipping labs, storing and disposing of chemicals, and maintaining documentation as well as the special requirements of specific disciplines, physics, chemistry, Earth and space science, and biology. Sidebars and inserts in every chapter highlight and reinforce important material. Also included: easy-to-adapt permission slips, student contracts, and a wealth of anecdotes about what works and what doesn't.

Teaching STEM Literacy

A Constructivist Approach for Ages 3 to 8

By: Juliana Texley,Ruth M. Ruud

Teaching STEM Literacy is comprised of ready-made, open-ended lessons reviewed and tested by teachers, which help educators integrate STEM learning into the early childhood classroom. Lessons are linked to the Next Generation Science Standards, and encourage creative ideas for three-dimensional STEM learning that are developmentally appropriate and exemplified through children's literature. The three-dimensional STEM learning—content, concepts, and practices—comes in twelve, ready-made open-ended teaching units that make it easy to teach science and inquiry to young children. This book uses the 5E framework (engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation) to cultivate children's skills of observation, questioning, and data collection by combining discovery, problem solving, and engineering solutions to authentic questions that young children might ask. Juliana Texley holds a master's in biology and chemistry, and a PhD in curriculum development/science education from Wayne State University, and has over thirty years of teaching experience. She is a graduate-level adjunct professor specializing in educational technology and assessment, science, and science teaching at Central Michigan University and Lesley University in Massachusetts. Texley has been a National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) member for thirty years, and served as president from 2014-2015. She is on the board for Young Voices for the Planet and led the development and evaluation of online learning programs for JASON Learning. Ruth M. Ruud has over thirty-five years of teaching experience ranging from early childhood to undergraduate studies. She has a master's degree in education with additional coursework in all areas of science. A former Delta Education FOSS (Full Option Science System) consultant, Ruth currently works as an adjunct professor teaching physical geography courses at Cleveland State University. She served as president of the Pennsylvania Science Teachers Association and has chaired a number of committees of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), is a member of the NSTA Recommends committee, and is the head reviewer for the NSTA Shell Science Lab Challenge.

Empowering Young Voices for the Planet

By: Lynne Cherry,Juliana Texley,Suzanne Lyons

With the inclusion of climate change in the NGSS, the time is ripe for a program that guides students to not only learn about but also engage in environmental activism. This guide to getting youth involved in energy management fills that need. Young Voices for the Planet started out as a film series featuring students who are actively trying to shrink the carbon footprint of their schools, homes, and communities. This companion to that film series includes inspiring stories of youth in action and a guide to practical student activism. Part I contains the true stories of seven youth projects, allowing you to follow their paths to success. The films--all of which can be accessed free of charge--supplement this part of the text by providing an introduction to climate science and energy curriculum for upper elementary through high school. These powerful stories can be integrated into lessons on STEM, Social Studies, and Environmental Studies. They will also help to teach about democracy and civic engagement. Part II is a practical action guide to begin a project that is important to students' own communities. Whether the project is integrated into the regular curriculum, structured for enrichment or remediation, or organized under the auspices of a club or community effort, educators will find many practical tips for success. "Think globally, act locally" isn't just a bumper sticker. It's the game plan for exciting and powerful student activism. This section describes how in-school or after-school groups can begin their own efforts to save the planet, including the nitty-gritty details on planning, financing, safety, and liability.
