I am hoping you can help me locate students who may be interested in
submitting their work for possible publication in a national magazine.
DRAGONFLY is a new inquiry-driven magazine for young investigators
put together by Miami University and the National Science Teachers
Association. The full-color, 32-page magazine is written and illustrated
by elementary and lower middle school students and by adult researchers.
As a teacher, you may teach students or know children who might like to
submit their investigations, poems or drawings for possible publication.
Topics in recent issues range from the discovery in Patagonia of
the largest meat-eating dinosaur, Giganotosaurus, to a third-grade class
investigation of the bones in their hands. By publishing articles written
by adults and articles from individual children or classes, DRAGONFLY
celebrates children and their questions about the world and helps children
see how science relates to their daily lives.The magazine, which is funded
by the National Science Foundation, also has an accompanying guide for
teachers.
We are accepting research, art and creative writing by children
until April 1, 1998 for:
--Space: the solar system and beyond
--Houses: anything that can be called home; bee hives, rock shelters,
apartments
--Time: from geologic history to our modern perception of time
--Water: from streams, ponds, and oceans to your drinking water
