For children, \u003cstrong\u003euncertainty supports engagement with materials, more purposeful science practice, and deeper conceptual understanding\u003c\/strong\u003e, yet classroom investigations typically reflect little of the uncertainty that scientists grapple with. How can we \u003cstrong\u003emove past cookbook science investigations\u003c\/strong\u003e and provide the support that teachers and students need for more complex work?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book introduces a framework describing specific forms of science activity, shares stories of children engaging with uncertainty, and provides \u003cstrong\u003epractical supports to help K– 2 teachers deepen their science teaching practice\u003c\/strong\u003e. The text includes tools for building classroom norms, planning and adapting investigations, leading discussions, and designing student sheets and other forms of support. The framework, tools, and examples are drawn from research conducted in partnership with elementary teachers and instructional leaders and have been applied in secondary science classrooms as
