(2009). Flower power: Teaching through Trade Books: Activities inspired by children's literature. Science and Children, 46(9), p. 14. The author describes two lessons, one for early elementary, the other for later elementary, that use a trade book as a springboard into an investigation of plant seeds and bulbs and flowers. Author's expertise- Christine Anne Royce (caroyce@aol.com) is an associate professor of education at Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. purpose of work- give examples of lessons that use trade books and tie to the science standards intended audience- elementary teachers My unit is on plants and their parts. With my fourth grade class I will plan to use the second part of the article and its lesson based on "The Reason for a Flower" by Ruth Heller. Students will draw the parts of the flower labeling them as they dissect the flower.}, interhash = {6e8e902e41dff5b28905e5265a942fd5}, intrahash = {77f84a076011ab40a201c6e7e6396ee9}, journal = {Science and Children}, keywords = {sciencelessonplan}, month = {Summer}, number = 9, pages = 14, timestamp = {2014-11-15T07:50:26.000+0100}, title = {Flower power: Teaching through Trade Books: Activities inspired by children's literature}, url = {http://find.galegroup.com.lib-proxy.calvin.edu/gtx/retrieve.do?contentSet=IAC-Documents&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&qrySerId=Locale%28en%2CUS%2C%29%3AFQE%3D%28JN%2CNone%2C22%29%22Science+and+Children%22%3AAnd%3ALQE%3D%28DA%2CNone%2C8%2920090622%24&sgHitCountType=None&inPS=true&sort=DateDescend&searchType=PublicationSearchForm&tabID=T002&prodId=AONE&searchId=R1&currentPosition=7&userGroupName=lom_calvincoll&docId=A202014700&docType=IAC}, volume = 46, year = 2009 }
