A differentiated curriculum for gifted science students needs to be organized around basic scientific principles that require more advanced levels of thinking and complex processes. Many of the authors provide units of study and specific lessons that model best practices in teaching science.

Science Education for Gifted Students begins with creative ways to engage children in the primary years, thus ensuring that they develop a love of science that will last a lifetime.
