Wonders of Science

Students will write about science-themed topics such as insects, inventions, and famous scientists while they learn to write with Structure and Style.

How are astronauts protected from space dust traveling at the speed of a bullet? How do ants know when another ant has died? Which woman scientist was called the Sun Queen and why? All these questions and many more are answered in the Wonders of Science Writing Lessons.

For students who savor science, Wonders of Science will be the perfect fit! Some of the included topics are bombardier beetles, Maria Telkes, and favorite inventions. Students will revel in retelling the stories of Jack and the Beanstalk and Archimedes. Do you have students who dream about what would happen if a meteorite fell nearby? What if they found a bottle with a message in it? This new theme-based book will ignite their creativity!

This theme-based writing curriculum offers a full year of instruction for students in years 4–8 and is perfect for homeschoolers, homeschool co-ops, tutors, and hybrid schools. Working through IEW's Units, students learn to take notes, retell narrative stories, summarize references, write from pictures, compose essays, and more. Includes literature suggestions and access to helpful PDF downloads including a download of vocabulary cards.

This book is designed to be used by an instructor who has been through or is currently viewing the Teaching Writing: Structure and Style video course.
