Description: Based on a collaborative inquiry-based project co-conducted and graded by sciences teachers and school librarians at Gill St Bernard's school, this book, presented in workshop format will furnish all the material necessary to enable school librarians and high school science teachers to collaboratively teach the important topic of how to perform and write up a scientific literature review.
Students choose a topic of personal interest linked to their science class subject(s). The school librarian and science teachers instruct students in how to perform the necessary research and how to successfully integrate the new information into a final product. This book will present an overview of the project, including a discussion of the value of inquiry-based research, detailed project lessons, student assignments, and a concluding discussion of unit assessment. Presented with this step-by-step material in workshop format (lesson plans and student handouts), library media specialists and science teachers can reinvigorate the research process and empower students to develop deep knowledge.
