Inspired by favorite children's stories, this book is a complete
guide to an innovative science education approach that helps
teachers and parents capitalize on children's natural curiosity
about the world around them to teach physical science. Pedagogical
strategies for both reading and science are featured, and many
lessons include suggestions for learning centers and masters for
reproducible flip cards and data sheets. Each lesson addresses a
category of the new National Science Education Standards and
includes an easy-to-understand science explanation. For example,
"Iron for Breakfast" captures students' imagination with the story
Gregory, the Terrible Eater. After listening to this story, in
which Gregory alarms his parents by preferring fruits and
vegetables to tin cans and other metal items, students discover
foods that both Gregory and his parents would be happy with--an
iron-fortified breakfast cereal and drinks containing food-grade
iron filings. Students use magnets to extract the iron and learn
about nutrition and the magnetic properties of iron. In "Folded
Paper Kites," students listen to The Emperor and the Kite, a tale
about a child who uses her kite-flying talent to save her father's
life, and then have fun building and flying kites while learning
about flight. Teaching Physical Science through Children's
Literature is based on a science-literature integration
teacher-enhancement program funded in part by the National Science
Foundation.
