From Galileo to Snowflake Bentley: Using Literature to Teach Inquiry in Middle School Science

Science Scope—September 2002

In this article, the authors create new possibilities for using award-winning literature to teach science. Paired texts, or two texts that are related conceptually, are used to integrate science and literacy standards. Literature clusters that address the inquiry, the scientific method, biographies of scientists, and commentary about being a scientist are suggested.
