Teaching Through Trade Books

by: Christine Anne Royce
edited by: Linda Froschauer

In this chapter, through two different stories, students are introduced to the process—including the frustrations—of designing something to solve a problem. The experiences of the books’ characters are brought into the classroom by having students engage in an engineering and design process. The activities support the development of these practices and assist students in acquiring and applying scientific knowledge. A materials list, teacher background information, and outcomes are provided. This book selection includes the Table of Contents, Introduction, References, Internet Resources, and Index.
