Teaches standards-based science as it develops reading, writing, and critical thinking skills!
Science Detective® A1 Book
Description & Features
Science Detective® uses topics and skills drawn from national science
standards to prepare students for more advanced science
courses and new assessments that measures reasoning,
reading comprehension, and writing in science.
Methods
First, students read lessons that include a variety of charts, tables, and
graphs. Then, they answer critical thinking questions to improve their understanding
of the science concepts and develop their reading comprehension, and inferential
and deductive thinking skills. Students can't just scan the story
for answers—they must carefully analyze and synthesize the information
from the text and the charts, tables, and graphs to explain and support
their answers.
Teaching Support Includes teacher and student introductions, a chart
of topics and key ideas to help select activities,
and detailed answers.
