Overview
Since they offer teacher resources, I will try and give ideas that are more directly tied to the high school science curriculum, but do check out the teacher resources; they are great! Along the way, Grace makes first contact with another interstellar explorer whose own planet shares the same issue of a slowly dying star, and they must work together to save both of their worlds. Because of the nature of the story, an invasive species, interstellar space travel, a slowly dying Earth, and meeting another form of life, there is barely a high school science topic that is not covered in this book. Environmental scientists will love the climate change take in this book, which will turn what may be a controversial topic in their classrooms into an engineering issue that requires both lowering AND raising the temperature on Earth by changing the structure of the atmosphere. While career-based standards are rarely a part of the state science curriculum, students' exposure to the real world of scientific discovery is critical to filling STEM careers in the future.
