Bücher von John W. Butzow

Help students learn about nature and the environment through quality contemporary and classic literature. Hands-on activities span the curriculum and support environmental themes and principles. Puzzles, word searches, suggestions for computer usage, and library connections are also given in each of the 15 chapters.

Integrate science into all disciplines of the middle school curriculum with the hands-on activities found here. Focusing on earth and environmental science, the authors have chosen a book representative of each chapter's theme (such as oceans, rivers, mountain formations, weather, the tundra, fossils, environmental quality) on which to build a complete interdisciplinary lesson plan. Other suitable books for each unit and further resources are also provided.

The Butzows' groundbreaking, critically acclaimed, and best-selling resource has been thoroughly revised and updated for today's classroom with new titles and new activities.

Due to popular demand, the Butzows have put together more fascinating thematic units that make science more exciting for young learners. Each chapter focuses on an individual book and includes vocabulary; and a wide variety of activities, including hands-on and inquiry-based topics, games, puzzles, word searches, and more.
