How FOSS Works: Reading

Science Literacy through Science Resources Student Books

FOSS Science Resources Books

Equipped with first-hand experiences with new science content and processes, students enhance their knowledge and understanding through reading in their FOSS Science Resources books. Content-area reading has been found to be more effective when a meaningful context for the information has already been established. The books provide scientific explanations and real-world applications of the students’ classroom experiences. A variety of grade-appropriate writing styles are used and articles are enhanced by full-color photos and illustrations.
