Brugar, Kristy A.; Whitlock, Annie McMahon – Canadian Social Studies, 2020
This study explores how two elementary teachers (first and fifth grades) integrated social studies content and skills throughout their school day. More specifically, we describe and explain their social studies instruction in terms of integration as it reflects fractured, healthy, and stealthy integration (Hinde, 2015). As researchers, we spent…

Bradbury, Leslie; Wilson, Rachel; Pepper, Nancy; Ledford, Mitzi – Science and Children, 2016
Most plants are able to obtain all of the nutrients that they need from air, water, and soil; however, this is not true of carnivorous plants. Because they tend to live in boggy soils where there are small amounts of nitrogen, carnivorous plants have developed specialized structures that enable them to lure and capture insects and sometimes other…
