This book uses lessons linked to children's trade books to engage students in discovering who scientists and engineers are and what they do. A follow-up to "Eureka! Grade 3-5 Science Activities and Stories," this book is for K-2 learners. The easy-to-use lessons focus on science and engineering practices such as asking questions and defining problems, planning and carrying out investigations, and analyzing and interpreting data. Each practice comes to life through engaging, trade book-based lessons that highlight scientists' work while introducing skill-building inquiry-based investigations. The lessons support the NGSS, include recommended teaching strategies, have a learning-cycle format, and examine the character traits of the featured scientists and engineers that helped each to succeed.
