Making Models

My new Focus on STEM column: Making Models is in the November Quick Tips for Schools and Libraries newsletter.

Snippet:
Fall is here, and with the colder weather comes the yearly science fair. It’s time for students of all ages to think of a new way to solve an old problem and then test their ideas. To plan their experiments and to share their results, these young scientists will need to develop models.

Click here to read Making Models with eight #kidlit science books that support the Next Generation Science Standard for Developing and Using Models in the classroom and library.

Booktalk: Each autumn we gather with our friends and family and light our brightest lanterns. It’s time for Diwali, the festival of lights!

Snippet: A long time ago, Diwali was celebrated after the last harvest of the year. The people of India would ask Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, to bless them and their crops in the coming year.
