The Cheese: An Essay on Method in Science Teaching.
Rossman, Michael
Phi Delta Kappan, v64 n9 p632-34 May 1983
A fourth-grade science teacher turns a classroom incident of flatulence into a wide-ranging science discussion. He advocates spontaneous, almost random, free-flowing lessons; exploitation of charged subjects (including death, sex, disease); and nonlinear, yet organically organized, purposeful connections of various subjects leading to satisfying resolutions.
