My Project

My students are growing scientists and they would love to have additional books about inherited and acquired traits, animal adaptations, fossils, and dinosaurs. These topics are so interesting to them, and we would love to have extra books for students to continue to read about these fascination topics. For many of my students, this is their first exposure to learning about inherited and acquired traits - and to how different animals have adaptations specific to their environments.

My third grade scientists are excited to delve into these fascination topics - and have already asked for more books than our school library has on these standards!

I would love to build their curiosity and allow their science understanding to develop further.
