The hands-on, teacher-tested activities in Project Earth Science: Astronomy brings the sometimes daunting concepts of astronomy down to Earth. Background information, supplementary readings, and suggestions for integrating other disciplines provide the teacher with a framework to launch a successful introduction to astronomy. Students will discover Earth s uniqueness by examining it as a part of the whole one planet within our Solar System. How did the planets form? Are we seeing a star s present or past? Why is Earth s distance from the Sun so important? Project Earth Science: Astronomy will lead you and your students on an exploration that takes you to the stars and back.

Wouldn t it be perfect if an expert combined the appeal of children s picture books with Standards-based science content and then offered you the ready-to-teach results? Picture-Perfect Science Lessons makes that exciting idea a reality. This delightful book for new and experienced elementary teachers presents 15 ready-to-teach lessons complete with student pages and assessments that use picture books to guide science inquiry explicitly tied to the National Science Education Standards. The authors are experts. They re classroom veterans who have honed their approach to teaching science through their presentation of Toyota Tapestry-funded workshops to teachers nationwide. They know that elementary teachers are usually crunched for science instructional time and could often use refresher explanations of scientific concepts. So they show you exactly how to combine science and reading in a natural way, and they provide easy-to-grasp background in physical science, life science, and Earth and space science. The lessons are classroom-tested, clearly identify the appropriate Standards, and embed carefully selected reading strategies throughout. Picture-Perfect Science Lessons draws on such diverse and tempting books as Dr. Xargle s Book of Earthlets, Oil Spill, Sheep in a Jeep, and Weird Friends: Unlikely Allies in the Animal Kingdom. You ll love how effective this book is, and your students will love learning about science.
