MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE MINUTE: OUTSTANDING SCIENCE TRADE BOOKS 2019 – PART TWO

This is the second of a two-part podcast series initiated by reading the February, 2019 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.  

In this issue, I read the article on the “Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K-12: 2019.  In this podcast, I feature four science books:

1.  To the Moon!:  The True Story of the American Heroes on the Apollo 8 Spaceship.

2.  25 Women Who Thought of it First

3.  Countdown: 2979 Days to the Moon

4.  How We Got to Now:  Six innovations that Made the Modern World

1. Take any normal worksheet with review questions. 2. Cut the sheet into slips. 3. Hide those slips in plastic eggs. Teams collect and egg at random then race back to their team compete to solve as many as they can before time expires! Rinse and repeat. #EDrenaline  https://twitter.com/i/status/1108822962700980230

The true posture of middle school has always been-use as many tools as possible-Crayons, paper, technology, scissors, rulers, glue, smart boards, groups, reflective time, and any other ideas that help students learn! One size does not fit all!

A student went to get a drink of water and as he came back to class, he was walking on his knees. Me: Why are you in your knees? Student: I just wanted to see what it feels like to be shorter. Middle schoolers are unique!  #mschat
