Fabulous Facts

My new Focus on STEM column, Fabulous Facts, is in the December Quick Tips for Schools and Libraries newsletter.

Snippet: Satisfy readers who love unusual facts with these new books. Over the long winter break, students can try science-based “magic spells,” learn about their own “weird” body parts, and join citizen science projects. No tests required–just curiosity!

It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

This small, enclosed space is her only home–until King Henry III decrees that she be brought to the Thames River every day to swim and fish. Imagine now this same polar bear dipping a curious paw in the river water, then leaping in with a joyful splash. And it is here, in this unfamiliar, faraway land, in one small way, that she finds home once again.
