Felicia B. Heard has always believed science is the key to everything we need to know and desire to learn more and more about in the world. Everything is science, or engineering or maybe a combination of both.
Science is all around us and we can use science as a basis for everything such as math, ELA, Social Studies, and Arts. If we understand science, we can understand the world. Science is a tested and accountability subject make the teaching count. With that, and more, the author will expound in her new book. Here are some chapters from the book, A Strategic Approach To Science Literacy.
Introduction
Educational malpractice of treating every student the same way is killing creativity. As Elbert Einstein once said…
The How A Better Approach towards Learning
Scientific Literacy is defined as the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts / processes required for personal decision making…
Dimensional Science Approach-Phenomena
The NGSS requires a three-dimensional way to deal with K–12 science guidance. This speaks to noteworthy progress…
Project-Based Learning
So, what actually is Project-based Learning or PBL? Project-based learning can be a catalyst for transforming science learning…
Felicia B. Heard is the founder of Be Heard Education. She believes that educators are “change agents” in their students’ lives. She agrees with the ideas of Ron Edmonds as he states, “All children can learn” and with Madeline Hunter saying, “Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care!” She knows that developing relationships with students will make a difference. She has trained educators on getting to know their students, finding out how they learn best, and showing them different strategies for success. Students often come to school with so much “baggage” and “drama” they are not able to connect with teachers, peers, or administration. Teachers sometimes grow frustrated because they have added Rigorous Application to the content but still unable to reach students. Sometimes the subject matter in our classrooms can’t compete with the unfortunate circumstances they endure in their lives.

Choose Your Preference
This book covers all the structures of science as a whole. I am using it to increase my home school science class and it is full of strategies, both new and familiar to myself, and my teaching has improved considerably.
Some topics are tougher than others if you aren’t already educated on them, and for these topics it would have been more useful to have a glossary to help well understand terms and concepts. This book is much simpler.
It is a handy book to have. If you find a topic of interest in the book, like microbiology for example, then you will get a basic understanding. It is all about taking the right amount of interest and portraying it through your teaching.
Brief explanations, spread out enough for an averse reader. A numberless amount of scientific approach. The only issue was the packing. For such a big lovely book, it was slightly damaged but it is worth the time and money.
