Activating Students' Ideas in Science: Linking Formative Assessment Probes to Instructional Sequence in Grades 6–8

This resource helps bring both student thinking and instructional sequencing to the forefront of your science teaching. Grounded in cognitive science and best practices in formative assessment, this book provides a practical “explore-before-explain” approach to engage middle-school students in doing science, not merely memorizing it, fostering their creativity, scientific reasoning, and long-lasting understanding.
