Should be a definite addition to any science teacher's shelf

Student's and the misconceptions they manage to achieve on the way to science literacy is an extremely popular topic among science education researchers. Unfortunately, like most other topics by these researchers information on how to correct those misconceptions rarely makes it down to the teachers level. This is a book which is intended to help teachers at all grades help to correct any misunderstandings they may have encountered. Since learning is for a life-time and not just for children, this book is actually good for adult education and inclusive education of those with disabilities. It makes things that teachers may not have had an opportunity in college to study extremely clear, and gives exercises which will clear up misunderstandings totally for most students. It is a valuable addition to my bookshelves and I recommend it to students who will be teachers in the future. Karen Sadler, Science education, University of Pittsburgh
