W4 - Science in Literature

ORAL

Abstract

We are never too young or too old to enjoy a good piece of literature. Integrating science and literature results in the development of reading skills while helping students discover the wonders of science. This session will focus on learning activities for The Very Lonely Firefly and Why Mosquitoes Buzz in Your Ear. The lessons are designed for upper elementary but could be adapted for any grade level.
