Book synopsis

Lively, whimsical, and downright empirical, 826 National's latest curriculum and resource book beautifully blends STEM and creative writing to foster hands-on discovery, deep learning, and rich inquiry skills in students. Students and teachers in the middle grades (when involving students in STEM has proven most critical for future success) will love the engaging projects that fuse creative writing and science, technology, engineering, and math.The field-tested lessons, workshops, and projects were each written by professionals in their respective fields, and are aligned with both Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. Lessons include such stimulating themes as "The STEM of the Zombie Apocalypse" and "It's (Partially) Rocket Science." Celebrity "experts" such as Bill Nye the Science Guy, Max Brooks (author of "World War Z"), and Mayim Bialik (Amy Farrah Fowler on "The Big Bang Theory") contribute reflective prefaces to each lesson.In addition to detailed hands-on activities and guided curricula, lessons will include such sections as "For You to Know, For Your Students to Discover," "Superteacher Bonus Activities," "Fun Facts" for students, and "Cool Connections" that suggest ways in which students can build off of their newfound knowledge. Quirky and exploratory, the lessons will effectively awaken student imaginations and passions for both STEM and creative writing, encourage identity with scientific endeavors, make scientific principles relevant to students' lives, and make both science and writing "fun."
