Similar to the previous 99 Jumpstarts to Research but designed for younger students, this book helps teachers and librarians to teach basic research and information literacy skills to children. To help them master the research process and narrow the limitless array of sources available on commonly researched topics in elementary and middle schools, students are taught a basic note-taking process and given specific source ideas and subject headings for each topic discussed. Grades 3-8.
“Energy, matter, technology, and the environment are some of the subjects examined in this thematically organized resource. Each section offers definitions, potential research topics, and lists of further reading suggestions, including numerous Web sites. This book will help primary and middle school teachers guide their students as they identify appropriate materials and develop a systematic research plan. Sure to aid in the preparation of quality papers and presentations.”–Curriculum Connections
