"This book focuses on global health - mental, spiritual, and social, three topics that are particularly relevant now that our world is struggling to survive the pandemic. At the United Nations we are very aware of the third sustainable development goal, the promotion of good health and well-being. Mental, spiritual, and interpersonal health are crucial in realizing this goal. Thus, we begin with looking at mental health around the world, then spiritual health in different faith traditions, and finally social health which includes interpersonal interactions within families and in communities. This second book in the UN book series continues with the three principal tenets of the UN Book Series. 1. The key current issues that affect our world are addressed. Since COVID 19 has had a devastating global impact, this book focuses on health. 2. As the problems facing our world are very complex, there is need for many voices from different disciples to address these challenging issues. Thus, this book includes authors from our professions of psychology and social work, as well as spiritual leaders, lawyers, and community activists 3. This book is co-edited and co-authored by students and recent graduates. Students have much to contribute beyond technological skills and generation of literature reviews. Thus, in this book they equally share in editorship and authorship of chapters. This book is written for anyone interested in global health. It should be of particular importance for faculty, students, practitioners who would like to learn more about current issues in global mental health as well as spiritual and social health"--

Science is unique among the disciplines since it is inherently hands-on. However, the hands-on nature of science instruction also makes it uniquely challenging when teaching in virtual environments. How do we, as science teachers, deliver high-quality experiences in an online environment that leads to age/grade-level appropriate science content knowledge and literacy, but also collaborative experiences in the inquiry process and the nature of science?The expansion of online environments for education poses logistical and pedagogical challenges for early childhood and elementary science teachers and early learners. Despite digital media becoming more available and ubiquitous and increases in online spaces for teaching and learning (Killham et al., 2014; Wong et al., 2018), PreK-12 teachers consistently report feeling underprepared or overwhelmed by online learning environments (Molnar et al., 2021; Seaman et al., 2018). This is coupled with persistent challenges related to elementary teachers' lack of confidence and low science teaching self-efficacy (Brigido, Borrachero, Bermejo, & Mellado, 2013; Gunning & Mensah, 2011). Teaching and Learning Online: Science for Elementary Grade Levels comprises three distinct sections: Frameworks, Teacher's Journeys, and Lesson Plans. Each section explores the current trends and the unique challenges facing elementary teachers and students when teaching and learning science in online environments. All three sections include alignment with Next Generation Science Standards, tips and advice from the authors, online resources, and discussion questions to foster individual reflection as well as small group/classwide discussion. Teacher's Journeys and Lesson Plan sections use the 5E model (Bybee et al., 2006; Duran & Duran, 2004). Ideal for undergraduate teacher candidates, graduate students, teacher educators, classroom teachers, parents, and administrators, this book addresses why and how teachers use online environments to teach science content and work with elementary students through a research-based foundation.
