Once Upon a Physical Science Book shows you how to integrate reading, writing, and physical science. Practical and easy to use, the book provides everything you need to boost students' skills in both science and reading. It starts with advice on teaching reading comprehension strategies to middle school students. Then, the book features 12 lessons. Each lesson consists of a science activity, a reading about an important physical science concept (based on a standard from the Next Generation Science Standards [NGSS]), a writing activity that asks students to connect what they did with what they read, and a Thinking Mathematically activity that helps them see how these science concepts connect with mathematics"--
