Biography
David Stroupe is Assistant Professor in the College of Education at Michigan State University, USA.
"The concept of this book is to move pupils away from being passive learners in science lessons and for them to become active participants in all aspects of their education... Heavily based on research, the book encourages teachers to provide pupils with opportunities to learn science practice, rather than just an endless stream of facts and figures."— Kate Cree, School Science Review
