Read closely. Investigate carefully. Write to teach.
The Story Atlas has opened four living chapters: schools, fossils, pollinators, and gardens. Super Gio gathers evidence and turns discoveries into useful writing.
This integrated expedition connects Humanities, English, research, science, social studies, and engineering through Schools and Community, Fossils Tell of Earth's Changes, The Secret World of Pollination, and Providing for Pollinators.
