Integrating Science and Language, Blue Planet has been developed with first time English teachers in mind, and takes them step-by-step through the instruction process to combine language and science effectively.
The science topics presented in Blue Planet are enriching and interesting, to stimulate students' natural curiosity about the world around them. The topics are grade-level appropriate, but have been adapted to the language proficiency of an EFL classroom.
Students' different learning styles have been taken into account. Attractive visual material in the Student Book, Project Book, Flashcards, and Posters appeals to visual learners.
Additional activities for those students who are auditory or kinesthetic learners are included throughout the Teacher's Guide. Manipulation and experimental learning help students make a connection between what they can see, do, and touch and the scientific rationale for these things.
There are numerous hands-on activities and experiments in the Student Book, Project Book, and Teacher's Guide that will make learning science interesting and relevant for both students and teachers.
