Summary:	"This book uses lessons linked to children's trade books to engage students in discovering who scientists and engineers are and what they do. A follow-up to "Eureka! Grade 3-5 Science Activities and Stories," this book is for K-2 learners. The easy-to-use lessons focus on science and engineering practices such as asking questions and defining problems, planning and carrying out investigations, and analyzing and interpreting data. Each practice comes to life through engaging, trade book-based lessons that highlight scientists' work while introducing skill-building inquiry-based investigations. The lessons support the NGSS, include recommended teaching strategies, have a learning-cycle format, and examine the character traits of the featured scientists and engineers that helped each to succeed"--

Description
Summary:	A child's ideas about how scientists look and what they do start to form in the earliest years. Help shape those conceptions as you introduce skill-building inquiry investigations with Eureka, Again! K-2 Science Activities and Stories . Like its best-selling counterpart for grades 3-5 (see p. 43), the book's title evokes Archimedes' famous cry. With this collection of engaging lessons, even the youngest students can make an important discovery: Scientists aren't stereotypes wearing goggles and lab coats. They are both women and men whose work and success stem from their life experiences and character traits. At the book's core are lessons that connect science content to 27 children's trade book biographies of scientists and engineers. Some of these individuals are famous, such as Rachel Carson, George Washington Carver, and Albert Einstein. Others are not as well known, such as paleontologist Mary Anning and recycler Isatou Ceesay. The lessons are designed to be appealing and easy to use. Chapters delve into the practices of science and engineering, such as how to ask questions and define problems, plan and conduct investigations, and analyze and interpret data. In addition to supporting the NGSS, the activities will expand children's understanding of what scientists do, where scientists work, and why science is important. With Eureka, Again! , you can encourage children to see themselves as budding scientists.
