Collection Review

This collection is a great collection because it contains a series of different resources. I think that collections like the one Luz created are phenomenal because they include resources on the actual content and concepts we teach to students, but the collection also includes resources on how to engage the students, and inquiry learning. From her collection, I went ahead and I added to my library the book chapter “Developing Awareness and Exciting Interest”. I liked this resource a lot because it was not just for educators or students but it was for everyone. The description states “it is for anyone interested in ways to learn more about living things and how such learning can help contribute to a safe and happy future.” Another resource I liked was book chapter titled “Function of Living Things” and this was such a great resource. I could’ve used it for my lesson during my field assignment. The book chapter states the purpose is “to elicit students’ ideas about the functions carried out by plants and animals for maintaining life”. I would use all of the resources that Luz added to her collection.
