Hands-on lessons can be fun and compelling, but when it comes to
life science, they aren't always possible, practical, effective, or
safe. Children can't follow wolves as they hunt elk, visit a
prehistoric swamp, or shrink down to the size of a molecule and
observe photosynthesis firsthand. But they can explore a whole
world of animals, plants, and ecosystems through the pages of
beautifully illustrated, science-themed picture books. Perfect
Pairs, which marries fiction and nonfiction picture books focused
on life science, helps educators think about and teach life science
in a whole new way. Each of the twenty lessons in this book is
built around a pair of books that introduces a critical life
science concept and guides students through an inquiry-based
investigative process to explore that idea-from life cycles and
animal-environment interactions to the inheritance of traits and
the critical role of energy in our world. Each lesson starts with a
""Wonder Statement"" and comprises three stages. ""Engaging
Students"" features a hands-on activity that captures student
interest, uncovers current thinking, and generates vocabulary. The
heart of the investigative process, ""Exploring with Students,""
spotlights the paired books as the teacher reads aloud and helps
students find and organize information into data tables.
""Encouraging Students to Draw Conclusions"" shows students how to
review and analyze the information they have collected. Bringing
high-quality science-themed picture books into the classroom
engages a broad range of students, addresses the Performance
Expectations outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards, and
supports the goals of the Common Core State Standards for English
Language Arts. Even if you are science shy, Perfect Pairs can help
you become a more confident teacher whose classroom buzzes with
curious students eager to explore their natural world.
