What does it look like to use living books for middle school science? In this episode, we'll be chatting about what you need for middle school science and what it looks like when you use a living book as your main source of information.
Key Takeaways
- The three keys remain the same - do, read, and write - but they mature with your students.
- Discussion time is still just as important, but the questions you ask will be more thought-provoking and less information-parroting.
- Don't forget to add in a science fair project!
