Here Comes the Garbage Barge!

Based on a true event, a garbage barge called the Mobro 4000 was hired to transport 3,200 tons of garbage in 1987. Long Island's landfills were overflowing with garbage and affecting the groundwater. The local government outlawed the burying of garbage. The solution was to ship the garbage to dumping grounds in the south. This turned out to be a fiasco. The garbage barge was not welcome at any port and it was a costly, long journey. The situation highlighted the problem of garbage and what to do with it. Recycling became a widely enforced practice.
The story provides students with opportunities to discuss landfill use, garbage and how we can help the Earth. Information on how the illustrations were developed is provided on the inside of the jacket flap.

National Geographic Science 1-2

This series of modular kits allows students to build skills to ensure a complete understanding of the nature of science. The process skills and the nature of science work together to help students think and act like scientists. Students will develop their process skill of observation. Through the nature of science, students will learn that science knowledge is based upon evidence and that science knowledge can change based upon new evidence. Numerous opportunities are provided for students to complete hands-on explorations that ensure a thorough understanding of key science concepts. Each unit opens with a big question to guide learning. Throughout the unit, there are four levels of inquiry. The explore activity allows students to build background knowledge. Teachers direct instruction in directed inquiry. In guided inquiry, students become independent learners with guidance from the teacher. Students choose their own questions, create and carry out plans, collect and record data and share data in open inquiry.

Air, Water, & the Weather: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It

Air, Water, & Weather is designed to help educators develop a deep understanding of the basics of phenomena, such as air pressure. The author starts with basic properties of air and water. Topics in the book include learning about pressure, the Coriolis force, the Bernoulli Effect, density, explanations of why hot air does not rise all by itself and why heating air does not necessarily cause it to expand.
These concepts form a foundation for explanations of weather patterns including the jet stream, storm fronts and the formation of tornadoes and hurricanes. Each chapter has two sections: Things to Do Before You Read the Science Stuff and The Science Stuff.
The book includes suggested activities, a table of contents, a glossary and an index.
