VAST Mediagraphies

A mediagraphy is a collection of books or other media related to specific topic. The VAST Mediagraphies include media reviewed by science teachers and science and literacy consultants for scientific accuracy and quality literature. Rather than being an all inclusive list of all media related to the topic, this collection has a smaller list of titles that have been identified as having science content directly related to science unit lessons and concepts. The instructional resources on the mediagraphy were selected to be used strategically by teachers to strengthen students' understanding of the science content.
