Doing Science: Innovative Curriculum for the Life Sciences

Problem—based, student—centred learning is the key to implementation of the national standards for science education in the United States. Students learn science best by ‘doing' science, by identifying real—world problems and designing projects that lead to possible solutions.

Based on extensive experience in an award—winning US high school science programme, this book provides a step—by—step guide for designing problem—based learning in the life sciences.
