Teaches readers about slime and snot and contains eight projects involving these substances.

Photographs and simple text introduce young readers to what happens when certain things are dissolved.

Presents information on extreme scientists, including where they work, what they study, and how they conduct their research. Includes statistics, a glossary, and a list of additional resources.

Presents advice for planning and engaging students in interdisciplinary STEM lessons in multiple content areas, including English and language arts, focusing on engaging students in the "4Cs" of communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity, as well as requiring students to take risks to solve problems.

Using materials they can find in their home, students can learn the science behind temperature and heat by performing experiments that demonstrate the conduction of heat in solids, thermal conductivity of liquids and gases, the relationship between temperature and color, and other scientific principles.

By doing the simple science projects, young scientists will discover how distance affects images made by a convex lens, observe a wave model of polarized light, and explore the science behind mirages.

Through simple instructions and scientific illustrations, students can conduct easy yet engaging experiments to examine the principles of electricity and magnetism.

"The contents of From Snorkelers to Scuba Divers teachers as they respond to the recent attention on American students' performance in science relative to the rest of the world, as well as the many initiatives to improve the performance of students in the learning of science, focusing specifically on the K-5 classroom. The strategies presented throughout the text target specific science skills and concepts presented in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Skills and concepts vary from chapter to chapter to ensure each grade level and area within science (i.e., Earth and Space, Life, Physical Sciences) are represented. Furthermore, connections are made between the NGSS and Common Core Standards in both mathematics and literacy"--.

Presents a collection of fifteen lesson plans for Kindergarten through fifth-grade science classroom that use picture books to help develop interest in science, and contains reproducible student pages and assessments.
