A great book on teaching science

Mr. Goldberg does not spell out in detail plans and experiments, but instead deals with the kind of thinking behind constructing science for children. He deals with what to do when a project fails; how does it become a learning experience.This book reminds me very much of Holt's Why Children Fail in its thought about how childre operate when dealing with new scientific material.I would say this is a good book for elementary and middle school teachers.
