Talking with science teachers at the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) conference last month reminded me that a couple of years ago the Library of Congress hosted a Teacher in Residence with a background in science.
In the November/December issue of The Science Teacher, we suggested that your students might apply the 5 Es of science instruction to Wright's work to deepen their understanding of the universe.
Ponder this: would you want to go to Mars? Would you want to live on Mars? What might you do there? Who would you want to go with you? We posed these questions to student visitors during a program called “Life and Community on Mars” held in the Library of Congress Young Readers Center.
