Editorial Reviews

Review

"If you are a science teacher or homeschool parent looking for a simplified yet engaging approach to teaching science, this book provides a perfect guide to help students experience (not just learn about) science. This organized, research-based resource fits the title of a "toolbox." It can help anyone from the novice to veteran teacher plan and deliver lessons that will excite students about concepts in science (aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards)." - Dr. Amanda McAdams, Director of Curriculum in Wyoming's Lincoln County School District #2, 2010 Arizona Teacher of the Year

"This book contains valuable strategies for both new and veteran teachers. It is an organized and interesting compilation of ready to use tools that will engage students at all levels." - Robin Norwich, NBCT, Math and Physics teacher, 2019 recipient of the Sloan Award for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics

"This book is a comprehensive collection of creative lesson plan strategies with detailed references and supplementary resources cited. Also, Part III provides many general strategies for effective teaching. Clearly written in both content and organization, it provides specific and detailed concrete examples for putting into practice the authors' Introduction: 'Not having heard something is not as good as having heard it, having heard it is not as good as having seen it, having seen it is not as good as knowing it, knowing it is not as good as putting it into practice' - attributed to Chinese Philosopher Xun Kuang.

I recommend it to any science teacher, and especially those new to teaching science or with minimal scientific knowledge. I think, with this book, even I, an engineer, could teach a quality science course." - Jon S. Wilson, BSME, MAE, MSIE; 25+ years practicing engineer and 25+ years training practicing engineers

"As a teacher, I have often heard professionals discuss the importance of "soft skills" our students require upon graduation. The ideas in The Science Teacher's Toolbox successfully describe solid strategies for teachers to utilize in their classrooms to get kids experiencing science, producing thinking, problem-solving citizens that the world will need." -Connie Kennedy, K-12 Mathematics & Science Instructional Support Specialist, Bay City Public Schools

"As a science teacher of nearly 20 years, I found the information laid out in The Science Teacher's Toolbox extremely valuable. I believe that new teachers would benefit immensely from reading this book, as well as veteran teachers. Over the years I have found that students struggle with the ability to extract the important elements from scientific text as well as how to think critically. This book provides strategies that help students to improve these skills. In addition, as a veteran teacher, I found the information the authors outlined in relation to learning goals and scales invaluable. Using learning goals and scales helps identify the essential elements of what you want your students to know and helps teachers to identify students who need interventions but the most important element of this is that it helps students reflect on their own learning. The strategies found in this book changed the way I teach and can do the same for you, which ultimately impacts student learning, the ultimate goal of a master teacher." - Jami Spencer, biology teacher and science department chair, Cottonwood High School, Utah

"As a principal who has worked in K-12 settings for 15 years, I find this book to be remarkably useful. It's application for effectively differentiating science instruction and for developing critical thinking skills in students is far reaching. Any educator will find this resource to be valuable for improving his or her craft." - Mike Deignan, Principal, Desert Vista High School

"I love the book and how easy it is to follow. It gives excellent suggestions and examples on how to implement them, with step-by-step instructions and visuals." - Amy Rankey, 5th Grade Teacher, Hampton Elementary School

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS A MUST-BUY!

C. · May 13, 2020

I used to think I was a pretty good teacher. Then I met Tara Dale. What she is able to do with students is amazing! It's interactive, thought-provoking for students, builds relationships and teaches students how to apply critical thinking skills about topics they've learned to new situations. I have been lucky enough to work with her for the last two years, planning, observing classes, and adopting practices shared by Mrs. Dale. I can tell you that this book is LOADED with pearls for wisdom from Mrs. Dale and Mrs. White that would be perfect for any science teacher.For new teachers, you can't go wrong with Harry Wong's "First Days of School" for classroom management and "The Science Teacher's Toolbox" for successfully teaching science. These can give you a jump start on teaching skills that take years to develop.For veteran teachers, this book can open your world, like it did mine, to a different way to teach science, with tons of ideas and examples that can be easily implemented for major results in any science class or lesson, K-12.There are 18 strategies taught in the book: lab safety, lab procedures, scientific method, the inquiry process, project-based learning, the engineering process, teaching vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, discussions, teaching math, arts & kinesthetics, activation prior knowledge, cultural responsiveness, beginning & ending class, reviewing content, assessing student learning, and co-teaching.Each chapter includes: what the strategy is, why they like it, research that supports that strategy, skills being taught, application of the strategy, differentiation for diverse learners, student handouts & examples, what could go wrong (a heads-up on what students may mix up or have not learned correctly yet), and technology connections (helpful websites).You will LOVE this book!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST FOR 1ST YEAR SCIENCE TEACHERS!!!!

A.C. · May 7, 2020

IF YOU ARE A FIRST YEAR SCIENCE TEACHER, THIS BOOK IS A MUST!!!!This book is absolutely amazing for science teachers or a special education teachers in a science classroom! Just like the title said, this book provides so so so many different strategies to add to your toolbox. Some are thing you have done, but are a new spin and some are things I have never tried!What I love most about this book is that every chapter provides student worksheets, answer keys, and handouts for you to use to meet your own teaching style and curriculum.So many of my teaching books provide tons of great explanations on how to implement different strategies but it stops there. This book gives great explanations and then provides you with the ways they would implement those strategies in the classroom. It includes examples of questions, worksheets, directions, attention getters, handouts, rubrics and so so so much more!!!I highly recommend this book! Such a great book to add to my teaching bookshelf! I know I will be grabbing it a lot!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best for high school, not elementary

S.V.R. · May 11, 2025

There is a lot of information and even student pages to be used in class. It said it could be used in any science classroom, but it is definitely aimed at teachers of science in high school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent teacher resource!

D.M. · May 7, 2020

If you are looking for an all-in-one science teacher resource, this is it! This is a great book for new teachers as well as seasoned teachers, as there are so many options to choose from! There are sections on lab safety and procedures, inquiry, PBL, engineering, ELA, math, the arts... the list is endless! If you are looking for an A+ resource, look no further. Ms. Dale and Ms. White have covered all the bases and then some. Definitely my now "go to" resource as a 19th year Science teacher!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent support material

O. · December 10, 2023

Worked well in the middle school science program in Oklahoma

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Teachers

M. · May 11, 2020

Tara Dale and Mandi White have done the impossible with The Science Teacher’s Toolbox - they have given me the knowledge and confidence to support science inquiry! From the practical ideas, research to support science strategies, easy-to-follow activities, and assessment ideas, any teacher can utilize these and turn their students on to science. They have thought of everything from differentiated instruction to student handouts. This is an excellent resource for every teacher!
