explore the many directions that read-alouds can take in your classroom. Read-alouds will provide your students with a myriad of benefits and, to put it simply, a nice change of pace.
I can see read-alouds being used in different classrooms and subjects besides science to keep my students attention. It would also help to have students learn from varying perspectives and connect different subjects to a lesson.

However, the example of mistletoes as parasites pales when contrasted to an excerpt from the trade book Exploding Ants: Amazing Facts About How Ani-mals Adapt (Settel 1999).

But that’s what really happens when the small liver fluke gets itself inside an ant.

To address these issues, skilled science teachers plan multiple experiences for their students that extend far beyond the textbook. Demonstrations, hands-on activities, and videos are common ways an industrious science teacher will provide inquir y-based instruction, offering engaging access to the middle school science curriculum.
Science teachers finding ways to keep their students interested with their studies and what they learn.

This thinking requires students to become familiar with data collection, data analysis, algorithmic thinking, and data representation.
This gives me an idea of what it means to be a Computational thinker.

The empowered learner standard requires students to take an active part in their education. To fulfill this standard, students need to: Achieve competency in learning goals Demonstrate competency in learning goals
