Science Giants: Earth & Space
PRODUCT DETAILS
Be there as scientists monitoring the Glomar Challenger discover what’s at the center of the Earth. Walk with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon. Science Giants offers you opportunities to read about and explore the important discoveries in science. The book’s 25 topics includes a hands-on exploration activity and a reading that discusses the important people and work that led to the discovery. Includes: teaching to the “big idea,” using historical references to show how we currently understand scientific principles, activities designed to illustrate principles, new ideas that challenge old assumptions, and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.
