Botanist Jacob Nelson Rose wrote several books about cactuses. Botanists must describe plants in specific ways so that others can correctly identify plants. This month, we celebrate the art of descriptive writing, especially as scientists use it to record observations about their world. Download the resource packet to get started.
I’d love to hear how you use these Scientists of the Month in your classrooms. Some ideas:
a monthly bulletin board
a science station with information and resources for students to explore
Monthly storytelling emphasis. For example, this month, you could use How to Hug a Cactus by Emily S. Smith.
integrate with Language Arts lesson on descriptive writing
share with a science club
How will you share the Scientist of the Month with your students?
Included in this month’s packet: Biography of Jacob Nelson Rose, Cactus Jack O’Lantern coloring page, STEAM questions, Descriptive Writing Prompts.
