NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) Press has published the second (More Brain-Powered…) and third (Even More Brain-Powered…) volumes of School of Education Associate Professor Thomas O’Brien’s three-volume series that began with Brain-Powered Science: Teaching and Learning with Discrepant Events (NSTA Press, 2010). This dual-purpose series uses engaging science discrepant event activities as: (1) models of thought-provoking, inquiry-oriented activities that challenge grades 5-12 students’ misconceptions about science and the nature of science and (2) visual participatory analogies to teach science teachers principles of applied cognitive learning theory and research-informed Curriculum-Instruction-Assessment “best practices.”
