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

Our goal was to review books for both elementary and secondary educators and include a variety of topics.
