Bacteria and Archaea

Beschreibung

In the leveled reader Bacteria and Archaea, fundamental science facts of biology are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that bacteria and archaea are tiny organisms too small to be seen with only the eyes. Although they look a lot alike, they are different from each other. Bacteria come in three basic shapes: rods, spheres, and spirals. They live in different places, and some live alone, while others live in colonies. Archaea come in different shapes, such as a ball with hairs on one side, lumpy ping pong balls, rod shapes, and long hair-like shapes. Archaea can live in very hot or very salty places, and some can even eat iron. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

Dr. Rebecca Woodbury has explored how students learn for over two decades. Starting as a research scientist in the field of biophysical chemistry, she left academia to create quality educational support materials for students and educators. She started Gravitas Publications Inc. in 2003 and introduced the Real Science-4-Kids product line for home educators. Dr. Woodbury has been dedicated to continually improving and enhancing the Real Science-4-Kids books over the years. In 2020, she took a significant step forward by introducing RATATAZ. This innovative learning model seamlessly blends in-depth knowledge content with student-driven inquiries. Furthermore, it emphasizes project-based learning, ensuring that students not only consume information but also apply it practically. Additionally, RATATAZ focuses on retrieval practice, ensuring students can readily recall and utilize what they've learned. It's a comprehensive approach designed for optimal student engagement and retention.In 2021, Dr. Woodbury went back to graduate school to learn more about curriculum and instructional design from an educators perspective. She completed her M.Ed. in the spring of 2024. Through this endeavor, Dr. Woodbury has gained significant insight into how students learn, best practices for curriculum design, and effective assessments. Our updated Science series, new Reader series and RATATAZ kits demonstrate this new information. In December of 2023, Dr. Woodbury relocated her team to Tempe, AZ. In the new location, Gravitas Publications Inc. will be able to better serve both homeschool parents and school educators.
