Here I am on the exhibit floor at the NSTA in Atlanta holding up the two, count 'em, collections of Nonfiction Minutes. 30 People Who Changed the World is a collection of biography Minutes and already a winner of the 2018 Notable Social Studies Trade Book Award and our new book 30 Animals That Share Our World due out in April. It's wonderful to see so many high-quality science books on the floor along with models, science tools, and products to make science hands-on.
One of the strands of the conference was science literacy, teaching students to read, speak, and write science. Alex Siy was with me and we spent Friday morning speaking to lots of elementary teachers about iNK's Spring Fling in Partnership with CILC.org on Tuesday. We are thrilled with the enrollment so far and many teachers said they'd enroll on Monday when they returned to school. It's not too late to register.It's NOT TOO LATE to sign up.

And if you're looking for something mystical about science, ponder this. Stephen Hawkings died on March 14, Pi Day He was 76 years old-- Read David Schwartz's Minute Happy Pi Day! There's more: Stephen Hawkings was born on January 8 , 1942, Galileo Galilei died exactly 300 years earlier on January 8, 1642 he was 77 years old. Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day, March 14 in 1879 and died at 76. There are some mysteries that we just have to dance with!
