Book ID/图书代码： 09653014B72190
English Summary/英文概要： Reading skills and life science come together in this engaging new book for middle school teachers. Once Upon a Life Science Book makes it easy for teachers to improve their students reading abilities and teach science content simultaneously through clearly outlined, inquiry-based lessons. Author Jodi Wheeler-Toppen offers science activities for students and explains how these activities relate to the National Science Education Standards. Topics as varied as the cell cycle, skeletal and muscular systems, genetics, and food chains are covered in a concise manner that will appeal to teachers and students alike. She doesn t stop there, however. She follows these activities with reading strategies such as comprehension coding, chunking, and previewing diagrams and illustrations that students can apply to science lessons and other subjects. The reading passages on science content are more student friendly and easier to follow than typical textbooks, which might not provide the background knowledge or connections that students need to learn science content. With this interdisciplinary volume, teachers can help students learn the science in a straightforward manner and develop strategies to improve their reading a win-win that will delight time-strapped educators.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 通过阅读《这辈子要知道的科学知识》，中学生可以同时培养自己的阅读技巧和生活科学知识。这本书非常清晰实用，帮助老师们轻松地提升学生的阅读能力，同时又能教授他们科学知识。作者约迪为学生们提供了许多科学活动，并解释了这些活动和国家科学教育标准之间的关联。书中涉及细胞周期、骨骼、肌肉系统、遗传学和食物链等主题知识，老师和学生都会非常喜欢这种讲解方式。但是约迪并不满足于此，她还融入了理解编码、组块、预览图表和插图等阅读技巧，这些学生不仅可以运用到科学知识学习中，还有其他的许多学科课程中。传统的教科书不会解释背景知识和在生活中的运用，《这辈子要知道的科学知识》在这方面就很人性化，学生也很容易掌握。通过这本跨学科书籍，老师可以引导学生更直观地学习科学，并掌握阅读技巧。这段总觉得讲课时间不够的教育者来说绝对是件双赢的事情。(XAT)
