Description

Make science time literacy time! Activities and graphic organizers help students practice reading comprehension, grammar, writing, and vocabulary using the content they're studying in their Delta Science Readers. This seamless integration helps children develop literacy skills while reinforcing their science learning. Skillbuilders are developmentally appropriate with reading and language arts skills for each grade span Students learn how rocks provide clues to Earth's history, structure, and geological activity. They build Earth cross-sections to compare ocean and continental crusts. Students investigate Earth processes that lend support to the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. They model ocean-floor spreading, plate subduction, magma convection currents, volcanism, and earthquakes at plate boundaries. As a result, students learn to think of the Earth as a geological mosaic, constantly being refitted. This item is a non-discountable School Specialty Science exclusive.
