For children, \u003cb\u003euncertainty supports engagement with materials, more purposeful science practice, and deeper conceptual understanding\u003c\/b\u003e, yet classroom investigations typically reflect little of the uncertainty that scientists grapple with. How can we \u003cb\u003emove past cookbook science investigations\u003c\/b\u003e and provide the support that teachers and students need for more complex work?\u003cbr\u003eThis book introduces a framework describing specific forms of science activity, shares stories of children engaging with uncertainty, and provides \u003cb\u003epractical supports to help K-12 teachers deepen their science teaching practice\u003c\/b\u003e. The text includes tools for building classroom norms, planning and adapting investigations, leading discussions, and designing student sheets and other forms of support. The framework, tools, and examples are drawn from research conducted in partnership with elementary teachers and instructional leaders and have been applied in secondary science classrooms as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new way of building engagement and supporting science practice through centering uncertainty, an essential human and scientific experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspiring examples of students engaging in science practices, developed with teacher collaborators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA suite of tools to support the design, adaptation, and implementation of rich investigations for the science classroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSample classroom dialogue showing how teachers can facilitate student discussions that foster and build from uncertainty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA companion website with additional investigations, real classroom case studies, and helpful resources and tools (investigationsproject.org).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEve Manz\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of science education at Boston University Wheelock College of Education and Human Development.
