Description

Delta Science Content Readers are 24-page nonfiction student books with informative, engaging text, full-color photos, and illustrations. Red and Purple Editions both provide the same science content but at two different reading levels. Each offers the same key science content, science vocabulary as well as science and literacy support features. Both sets of the Delta Science Content Readers present key science content and vocabulary found on state tests and support key reading skills and strategies for reading informational text. They extend and support hands-on activity experiences and content while promoting scientific inquiry. Also included are a comprehensive teacher’s guide and a pack of Skillbuilders with literacy-reinforcing, consumable practice sheets. The Heat and Light Energy Collection explores what heat and light are. Lessons look at thermal energy and how it moves as well as light energy and its relationship to objects. Students will learn how the eye works and how light is used in technology through lenses, lasers and fiber optics. The Red books have a Lexile® measure of 670 and the Purple books have a measure of 940.
