The lessons and learning tasks are research-based, relevant, and aimed at providing diverse learners with rich ang challenging experiences. This book addresses the basic goal of Science education : the development of a scientifically, technologically, and environmentally literate populace. Fundamental concepts and process skills to be developed are connected and integrated with the learners' technology world (interactive activities, project making, simulations, etc.) and social world (problem-solving activities, role-playing sessions, cooperative learning, etc.). These are approached following an expanding spiral progression model-building on what has already been learned more challenging content.
