Hi there!! As one of the authors of the book "Predict, Observe, Explain: Activities Enhancing Scientific Understanding" I am working at providing you a website to support the book and the use of POE's in general. What is here is the start of that website.

So, here's a review of the book. And here's how to order the book (there's also a sample chapter provided there by the publisher).

The booklet "Teaching Strategies for Developing Understanding in Science" might be useful for you, and you can download it [HERE].

If you wish to submit any POE's you develop for your own classes, then use the email address POE AT predictobserveexplain D.O.T. com (see the note below).

If you submit a POE then it will be looked at to see if it might be usable in a future book, and if it is used in a POE book then you'll be provided a free copy of the book (if you've at least provided the activity sheet you developed, a short description of the science topic you're teaching with the POE and how it relates to the POE, and a description of what types of answers your students gave....just like in the current volume).

[Please note that by submitting your POE you are providing me a limited license to (a) use the POE in a future book or e-book, with any modifications felt necessary (compensation as described below), or (b) use the POE as a resource on this (or other supporting) website provided free-of-charge to others. You will otherwise maintain copyright on your original document and it will be removed from this (or other) web site or not included in the book at your written request. Written credit will be provided to you in any publication in a book, e-book (on the "facing" page) or online.]

In the future there will be discussion forum here so you can discus implementing POE's from the current book (or your own POE). Other resources will also be provided as they are developed or sourced.

Thanks for using POE's in your science class.
