Author Page Keeley continues to provide Kâ€“12 teachers with her highly usable and popular formula for uncovering and addressing the preconceptions that students bring to the classroomâ€”the formative assessment probeâ€”in this first book devoted exclusively toÂ life scienceÂ in herÂ Uncovering Student Ideas in ScienceÂ series.Â

In this volume, Keeley addresses the topics of life and its diversity; structure and function; life processes and needs of living things; ecosystems and change; reproduction, life cycles, and heredity; and human biology. Using the probes as diagnostic tools that identify and analyze studentsâ€™ preconceptions, teachers can easily move students from where they are in their current thinking to where they need to be to achieve scientific understanding. At the same time, use of the probes deepens the teacherâ€™s understanding of the subject matter, suggests instructional implications, and expands assessment literacy. Using the student-learning data gained through the probes to inform teaching and learning is what makes the probesÂ formative.Â

Each probe is supported by extensive Teacher Notes, which provide background information on the purpose of the probes, related concepts, explanations of the life science ideas being taught, related ideas in the national science standards, research on typical student misconceptions in life science, and suggestions for instruction and assessment.
