Am I an Insect? Kristine Duehl, Katy Castronovo

With colorful and accurate illustrations designed to engage young readers, this book implements an inquiry-style

teaching method that discusses the characteristics that differentiate insects from other organisms. By asking if

each illustration shows an insect before providing information on each animal and how its characteristics do or do

not classify it as an insect, the book encourages readers to participate, from counting the number of legs a

creature has to identifying its body parts. Finishing with a summary of all insect characteristics, it asks the

reader to decide if a snail is an insect based on what they have learned throughout the book. The inquiry style

demonstrated throughout has been shown to be one of the most effective ways of engaging readers in the

subject material and to teach children scientific thinking, making it easy for them to find characteristics of

insects without adult assistance.

Summary

Kristine Duehl has a PhD in biology with a specialty in plant-insect interactions. She is trained in inquiry-based

science education and has published peer-reviewed articles on the subject. She lives in Davis, California. Katy Castronovo is an artist and illustrator who uses a variety of techniques in her work, including photography,

painting, drawing, and carving. She lives in Iowa City, Iowa.

Where Do I Live? Kristine Duehl, Katy Castronovo

Young children will eagerly explore the relationships between biomes and animals in this vivid and accurately

illustrated lesson in scientific thinking. The book introduces the five major biomes-aquatic, desert, forest,

grassland, and tundra-with examples of animals that live in each. The book then implements an inquiry-style

teaching method by asking readers where they think an animal might live before providing information on the

animal and its biome. Once the reader learns about the characteristics of the biome and an animal's adaptation

to its biome, the book follows up with a question to encourage the reader to think further about the relationship

between a biome and such animal adaptations, all the while demonstrating the effectiveness of inquiry-based

education.

science education and has published peer-reviewed articles on the subject. She lives in Davis, California. Katy Castronovo is an artist and illustrator who uses a variety of techniques in her work, including photography,

This hands-on science activity book for children 5 to 8 promotes health and safety through 70-plus creative projects, recipes, and experiments.

They rush to brush after watching the effects of sugary drinks on a tooth. Nutrition and exercise are fun with treats like Triple-Decker Mouthfuls and games such as Exercise Bingo. Lego people and Silly Putty help to demonstrate the importance of seat belts and bike helmets, and safety becomes a priority as children chant important numbers, identify exits in buildings, and more. All the activities are tested in homes and classrooms to be sure they are safe, effective, and fun.

Children investigate each topic by playing and learning. The book is packed with things to do-on and off the page-including games, recipes, and craft activities.
