What are the odds of a meteor hitting your house? What are “ warm” clothes anyway? Do you get “ more” sunlight from Daylight Saving Time? Everyone loves a good mystery and these unfold in the 15 stories presented in
Even More Everyday Science Mysteries, the third volume in author Richard Konicek-Moran’ s award-winning series. Again, the author uses stories without endings to teach a science principle, allowing the students to investigate how each story can be resolved. All the stories relate to the world around us and encourage students to “ take ownership” of their learning. In “ Here’ s the Crusher,” family members ponder what could have crushed a plastic soda bottle sitting on a table. By exploring each family member’ s idea, common misconceptions are uncovered and discussed. In “ Florida Cars?” Amber seeks out the causes of rust on cars from Florida. She experiments with nails to try to discover what ingredients produce rust. Your students will tackle Amber’ s problem and reach their own conclusions. Science topics explored include evaporation, erosion, thermal energy, atmospheric pressure, buoyancy, and density. “ These stories are bound to reveal the wonderful ideas all students have, give them the confidence to explore their own thinking, and provide opportunities for them to ‘ do’ science rather than have science ‘ done’ to them.” — Page Keeley, NSTA President 2008– 09
