Includes: teaching to the “big idea,” using historical references to show how we currently understand scientific principles, activities designed to illustrate principles, new ideas that challenge old assumptions, and connecting reading to science. Student reading pages include vocabulary words, which are shown in bold type and defined at the end of each reading, and offer suggestions for further study. Time lines at the beginning of each chapter provide reference points and springboards for studying biography, an important and interesting aspect of the history of science. Grades 5-8.
