When Bells and Mitch, two young space aliens from the planet
Exergy, crash-land on Earth, they must apply the engineering design
process to get themselves back home. Captivated by the beautiful
yellow dandelions near their crash site, Bells and Mitch
investigate the dandelions' life cycle. Observing how the flowers
disperse their seeds, they construct a mechanical replica to launch
their ship back into space. Showing how nature itself can instruct
us in engineering, Hunt and Pantoya take young readers on a journey
of discovery and problem solving. The authors worked with early
childhood literacy experts and science museums in developing this
story that teaches the relationship between science and
engineering, explains the design process, and introduces science,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts and
vocabulary.
With comprehensive coverage of spelling, punctuation and grammar,
JuniorEnglish offers a range of exercises of varying complexity. An
engaging seriesthat is perfect for teaching the principles of

learning settings. Chapters present authentic experiences of

teacher-scholars place critical pedagogy at the heart of classroom

contemplative pedagogy, technology within the classroom, and
translingual and multimodal paradigms. Chapters include further
readings and discussion questions that challenge assumptions and
promote deeper reflection, and can be modified for different
teaching contexts. This cutting edge and practical volume is

pedagogy.
