Book Reviews

In March 2022 with the hopes of increasing our membership’s professional resources we created the opportunity for our first book reviews. The response was overwhelming! Soo overwhelming that after 3 days, all books were assigned and shipped out. In total we had 10 reviews of 5 books, all of which will be published this year in the newsletter and some within the Alberta Science
Education Journal. The reviewed books were free to the reviewers so if you are interested, please pay attention to our various social media outlets for our March 2023 call. Books reviewed this year were:
  • Lost Science: Astonishing Tales of Forgotten Genius by Kitty Ferguson
    • Lost Science Book Review 1
    • Lost Science Book Review 2
  • Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku
    • Physics of the Impossible Book Review 1
    • Physics of the Impossible Book Review 2
  • Once Upon a Star: A Poetic Journey Through Space by James Carter, Mar Hernandez
    • Once Upon A Star Book Review
  • Teaching Science in Diverse Classrooms: Real Science for Real Students by Douglas B. Larkin
    • Teaching Science in Diverse Classrooms Book Review 1
    • Teaching Science in Diverse Classrooms Book Review 2

Our goal was to review books for both elementary and secondary educators and include a variety of topics. If you know of a book you think should be reviewed, please contact me (Monica Chahal) at atascjournaleditor@gmail.com Thank-you to all of our reviewers for their hard work, excitement and honesty.
