- Abstract
The article focuses on the efficiency on the use of books and textual materials to support the firsthand experience of students on scientific inquiry in the U.S. It explores the description on the role of trade books in grasping science concepts and understanding the nature of science. Books and other textual materials have been viewed efficient to provide information on natural contexts such as the transformation of caterpillar into a butterfly. This can also be used as a rich source of scientific models and a model for wondering and exploration for student learning.
