Then, the 12 content chapters give you hands-on science activities with engaging titles such as Mountain Mayhem, Oceans on the Move, and Trash Soup ; readings that cover important Earth science concepts and support the Next Generation Science Standards; writing activities that prompt students to connect what they did with what they read; and assessment exercises to give you feedback on what your students are learning. You ll love how practical and easy this book is to use. Jodi Wheeler-Toppen is an experienced teacher who couldn t find a resource that integrated reading, writing, and science so she wrote it herself. She s also the author of NSTA Press s Once Upon a Life Science Book (see p. 7). As you and your students work through these lessons together, she predicts, you will be able to watch their confidence as readers and your confidence as a reading educator grow.
