The on-site Science Store at the Kansas City Area Conference has been bustling. Books and gear items garnering a lot of attention include John Haysom and Michael Bowen’s new NSTA Press book Predict, Observe, Explain: Activities Enhancing Scientific Understanding and Michael Klentschy’s Using Science Notebooks in Middle School. Susan Koba and Anne Tweed’s Hard-to-Teach Biology Concepts and Anne’s Designing Effective Science Instruction are topics of discussion and interest, buoyed by those authors’ workshop sessions at the conference. Lots of science teachers at the conference are sporting the conference pin, which features blinking versions of Kansas City’s iconic “Sky Stations” sculptures atop the convention center. Items from the “I Love Science” and “Science Matters” NSTA gear lines continue to be popular, as well. All of these NSTA Press books and gear items are available online at the Science Store.
