Month: December 2022

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!

Booktalk: Learn how a movement builds from one person to a billion in this A to Z environmental activism book.
