Picture-Perfect Science |
On this half-day Symposium the authors guided educators through examples of science-related
fiction and nonfiction children's picture books to show how to seamlessly integrate
reading strategies into Standards-based inquiry science lessons. Participants became
familiar with the essential features of inquiry and the 5E instructional model,
and learned how to incorporate research-based reading comprehension strategies into
science inquiry lessons. An annotated bibliography of picture books correlated with
the National Science Education Standards for K-8 was provided.
All participants received a copy of Picture-Perfect Science Lessons: Using Children's
Books to Guide Inquiry , published by NSTA Press, and a folder containing
relevant materials. Continental breakfast was provided to all participants.
