Ewww-There's Some Geology in My Fiction!

Practice doing science! Ten earth-science-based short stories appropriate for the middle-grade or secondary classroom offer the basis for practicing the art and science of investigative thinking. The editors provide guidance toward asking interdisciplinary science questions related to each story and developing a set of steps to answer those questions. They also offer example investigations focused on modeling, experimental design, and data interpretation with a special emphasis on mathematical thinking.
