Integrating Science and Language Arts in Your

Can Dr. Seuss teach recycling? You bet -- just as Gary Paulsen can teach topographic maps and David Macaulay can show technology's effect on society. To prove it, this book shows you how to link 22 works of fiction and nonfiction with scientific studies in five thematic areas, from natural phenomena to environmental threats. Chock-full of detailed teaching strategies and handouts, it's ideal for interdisciplinary instruction.
