How can we incorporate ideas of social justice in our science curriculum? In short, how can teachers bring rich and powerful scientific ideas to life for their students?This collection of essays, written by researchers and educators in science education, addresses all these questions and more. Based on current research, and lovingly illustrated, each chapter introduces the key ideas of the topic and provides concrete suggestions on how these ideas can be implemented within a classroom.
