Magnets!

Hello all,

Hope you had a good day (even if it was Monday!).

Here is a picture of two great books by Angela Royston, titled Magnets and Magnetic and Nonmagnetic (Sorry, the titles are blocked by the library barcode). These are just two that are in a set of science books by Miss Royston. I've used other books by her last semester when a peer and I were designing a Science Unit themed by solids, liquids, and gases. This year for practicum, I am teaching a Science unit and the main theme is magnets.

Angela's books are wonderful because they are very age appropriate, informative, kid-friendly, and very colourful! The language used is basic, and there is a glossary at the back of each one. The pictures used are "real-life" photos (no cartoon drawings, and there are kids right in the pictures!).

I am going to use these books for my unit in helping explain some of the magnet concepts, and today I photocopied (and enlarged) a few of the pages from the books. I am hoping to have them laminated and post them in the classroom for students refer to.

:)
