Emily Morgan
A Model Of Accurate Scientific Content And Sound Teaching Strategies
Teachers raved when NSTA Press published Picture-Perfect Science
Lessons, 3-6. They loved its lively mix of kid-magnet books, Standards-
based science content, and ready-to-teach lessons that incorporate the
BSCS 5E learning cycle. So what could be more perfect? More Picture-
Perfect Science Lessons, K-4! This volume offers 15 new lessons that
combine picture books and inquiry to develop students interest in science
and reading. More Picture-Perfect Science Lessons, K-4, follows the same
winning formula that made the first volume a bestseller. The lessons cover
physical science, life science, and Earth and space science. They include
reproducible student pages and assessments. They feature embedded
reading-comprehension strategies. And they make students yearn to learn

from such engaging fiction and nonfiction books as Diary of a Worm;
Sunshine on My Shoulders; How Tall, How Short, How Faraway; and Leo
Cockroach, Toy Tester. The award-winning authors know from their own
classroom experience how important it is for time-starved teachers to
integrate science and reading in a natural way ... and how students with
reading troubles can benefit from an extra nudge to get engaged in
science texts.
