Saving Science Class: Why We Need Hands-On Science to Engage Kids, Inspire Curiosity, and Improve Education

More about the book

The critique highlights the disconnect between school science education and actual scientific practice, arguing that educational specialists with limited science knowledge have distorted curricula. The author contends that the focus on irrelevant topics like engineering and excessive theorizing leaves little room for hands-on scientific exploration, resulting in a lack of engagement for students. This book calls for a reevaluation of how science is taught to better reflect the realities of the discipline and inspire future generations.
