Teaching Science Through the Grades by David Mitchell

Here is a book with a variety of essays by experienced Waldorf  teachers on the unique approach to science in Waldorf schools, first  grade through twelfth grade. Each of the authors represented has years  of experience in the thrill of teaching science phenomenologically.   Science really starts in Kindergarten in these schools with careful  observation and joy in the natural world an integral part of every day  in the pre-school years. This continues through the grades with  increasing focus given to observation as an art and a high-level skill;  and increasing focus, as the grades go up, on clear thinking derived  from this keen observation. Experience the thinking behind this unique  approach to all things scientific through these lectures gathered into  one book.  Waldorf Publications offers this book with pride and deep  admiration for all the teachers represented here and for the editor ho  recognized the value of each essay, each teacher.
The editor, David Mitchell, was himself an experienced class and high  school teacher. He enjoyed science teaching above all other subjects  and devoted his days to research in the sciences. He developed the  Waldorf Publications science kits with colleagues in the field.  Over  decades he produced the Waldorf Science Newsletter for all the science  and technology "geeks" in the Waldorf community!
