In Visible Learning for Science, the authors reveal that it's not about which strategy to use, but when to use it, and plot a vital K-12 framework for choosing the right approach at the right time, depending on where students are within the three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. Synthesizing state-of-the-art science instruction and assessment with over fifteen years of John Hattie's cornerstone educational research, this framework for maximum learning spans the range of topics in the life and physical sciences. Employing classroom examples from all grade levels, the authors empower teachers to plan, develop, and implement high-impact instruction for each phase of the learning cycle.

The authors have written a book with research to support that various learning techniques are effective at different times. Its lack of `an all or nothing' approach truly impresses. This book reminds teachers to make relevance obvious when teaching science standards and that mistakes are necessary for learning to occur. It is so relevant in today's school climate and is an easy read for busy teachers who are trying to do the best they can for their students.
-- Mandy Frantti, Teacher, Munising Public SchoolsVisible Learning for Science is a great science methods text with its many, many great examples and excellent inclusion of research. I would definitely use this book in the classroom!
