About the Book

Make science fun and easily accessible for younger learners! Tess and the Mystery Rock is a science literature storybook where children will meet Tess, a very curious girl who wants to grow up to be a scientist, just like her mom. Asking questions is a great way to find out about the world around us, and Tess is very good at asking questions. When a mysterious rock falls from the sky, Tess begins a quest to find out what it could be. What she learns is amazing!

Don't be fooled by the whimsical nature of the text. This colorfully illustrated storybook is packed with scientific concepts covering five science disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This book includes the story of Tess and her search for answers about the mysterious rock she found, Thought Stop sections that have experiments to perform and questions to think about, a Science Facts section with more information about the science that has been learned, and a glossary of terms used in the book.

Tess and the Mystery Rock Field Notebook is an optional accompanying notebook based on Tess's story. It provides additional questions for students to think about in relation to the five science disciplines. There are experiments to perform, facts to learn, and space for recording observations. Tess and the Mystery Rock science reader becomes a complete unit study with the addition of Tess and the Mystery Rock Field Notebook.


About the Author: With seven years' experience in an innovative classroom setting, Melinda Bagby has learned the value of interdisciplinary studies. She has an additional four years of personalized tutoring experience where she created her own approach to teaching math facts through storytelling. This integrated curriculum approach was designed to be mutually reinforcing. It encourages learners to use critical thinking skills and imagination as they make connections between subjects. Melinda draws from her professional experience in the creation of this new science/literature crossover series. By incorporating imagery, storytelling, reading comprehension, and writing into science, students are drawn into the topics in an engaging way for better understanding and information retention. The documentation model used as the scaffolding for the science/literature series follows the Real Science-4-Kids curriculum methodology.
