Secondary schools are continually faced with the task of preparing students for a world that is more connected, advanced, and globalized than ever before. In order to adequately prepare students for their future, educators must provide them with strong reading and writing skills, as well as the ability to understand scientific concepts. The Handbook of Research on Science Literacy Integration in Classroom Environments is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the importance of cross-curriculum/discipline connections in improving student understanding and education. While highlighting topics such as curriculum integration, online learning, and instructional coaching, this publication explores practices in teaching students how to analyze and interpret data, as well as reading, writing, and speaking. This book is ideally designed for teachers, graduate-level students, academicians, instructional designers, administrators, and education researchers seeking current research on science literacy adoption in contemporary classrooms.

Vivid photos of a wolf fish munching a sea urchin, a hermit crab switching shells, a sea slug arming itself with stinging cells stolen from an anemone, a 35-pound lobster guarding his domain, and other exotic creatures take us from dawn to darkness. Colorful panoramic paintings show us the bigger picture, including the eyes of nighttime predators and the creatures who are missing the following morning. A gorgeous book for future scientists. Both lyrical and scientifically accurate, the story follows a day in the life of the denizens lurking in the cold, tide-swept waters beneath a remote pier on the shore of a northern sea. Stunning underwater photos of a wolffish munching a live sea urchin, a hermit crab switching shells, a sea slug arming itself with stinging cells stolen from an anemone, a starfish thrusting its stomach through its mouth to digest its prey, exotic-looking basket stars straining the water for food, a 35-pound hundred-year-old lobster guarding his domain, and other exotic creatures take us from dawn to darkness. Colorful panoramic paintings of the bigger picture, including the eyes of nighttime predators and the creatures who are among the missing the following morning. Includes an appendix of macro-photos showing tiny animals that are critical to the food web. Another appendix gives scientific names and brief science facts about all animals in the book. Interactive, as readers are asked to compare before-night and after-night images to discover who's missing Correlations to the Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core ELA Standards available online at www.tilburyhouse.com The Tilbury House Nature Book series brings the natural world to life for young readers without anthropomorphizing animals.
