Synopsis: FOSS Science Resources is a book of original readings developed to accompany each FOSS module. The readings are referred to as articles in the Investigations Guide Students will read the articles in the book as they progress through the module; these articles cover a specific concept usually after that concept has been introduced in an active investigation. Together, the articles in FOSS Science Resources and the discussion questions provided in the Investigation Guide help students make connections to the science concepts introduced and explored during the active investigations. Features - FOSS Science Resources are developed specifically to complement FOSS modules of the same titles and help lead to a deeper understanding of a key life, earth, or physical science concept - Concept development is most effective when students are allowed to experience organisms, objects, and phenomena first-hand before engaging the concepts in text - Colorful photographs, key standards-based science content, and developmentally-appropriate interactive text help enhance the overall science learning experience - Book includes a science and literacy blackline activity master and directions for a hands-on activity - Educators are also provided with easy-to-use science and literacy teaching support and strategies for meeting individual learning needs
