- Abstract
The article offers information on techniques to enhance teacher's science teaching in the U.S. To effectively impart pertinent information and ideas to students, it is vital for teachers to use different methods and tools in their strategy. One activity is insufficient in solidifying ideas. It states that effective science teaching builds uses representative models so that students see multiple ways to represent phenomena. It is suggested that teachers choose representations which are important in helping students understand science concepts. They must represent clear, accurate and focus student's attention to the phenomenon being studied to help students construct more accurate ideas. INSET: Sample Scaffolding for force and motion.
