Advanced Challenge Week 2

Chilton's online manual has videos, still pictures and written instructions on how to change out a steering wheel. Seems to be very thorough, I would not have thought about detaching the airbag before changing out the steering wheel. It's nice that you can print out the instructions too.

The Part number for a 1989 Geo Prizm 3 speed automatic transmission transaxle is A131L.

The languages of the Bible are Hebrew (Old testament) and Greek (New Testament). I did the first lesson in Hebrew and found that the Hebrew word for night is pronounced the same as my first name, that was cool.

Using TumbleBookLibrary to look for mystery books for third graders, I simply typed "mystery" in the search box and it brought up several books suitable for a third grade student.  I choose 'Ace Lacewing, Bug Detective".  You have options of reading the book and turning the pages yourself or you can have everything automated and sit back and listen to the story as you follow along in the book. A/R information, Lexile and grade levels are all included in the information. This is a fun way to get students interested in reading more.

I had a little trouble finding a fiction book supporting STEM at first.  I tried searching 'math' & 'technology' and found nothing.  It was only when I searched 'science' that I found several fiction books dealing with science.  I enjoyed 'Gotcha' about magnets and 'Clever Trevor' on levers. My favorite was 'A Moldy Mystery' on growing molds.  Kids would find these books enjoyable and fun to try.

  1. Interesting discoveries in Chilton, Mango & TumblebookLibrary. The books you found to support science in TumbleBookLibrary sounds great--I find it useful to look at the index and see the list of everything--there are many sorting options, including AR and grade.

    Thanks for your post,
