Ecology Books for my 5th and 6th Grade Science Students
Funded Oct 22, 2009I am writing today in thanks for your contribution to the gift of "Earth Matters" books to my 5th and 6th graders. We have already found so many uses for these ecology texts, and we haven't even started our environmental science units yet! The 5th graders were able to conduct independent research into renewable energy sources and energy efficiency during our study of solar energy. When 6th grade began learning about the science of astronomy, we turned to the "Earth Matters" texts for information about the big bang, the structure and formation of the solar system, and reasons why Earth is just right for life.
My students have commented that these beautifully designed books are "easy to read," that they have "great pictures," and that they "make learning science fun." Some students have even observed the potential for cross-curricular learning, pointing out the wealth of graphs, charts, and statistics presented in each chapter.
Your donation has contributed immeasurably to both independent and collaborative learning in my classroom, as well as to a shared feeling of excitement about science, and we are so grateful to you for that.”
With gratitude,
Ms. S.
