The resource I chose to use was Teaching Books.net. I logged in using the school password, scrolled down and started a search. I chose my grade level, (7-12), and science as my topic.  I thought for a moment that I might be getting only fictional works, but as I continued to search it became evident that nonfictional resources were also available.  I found a wonderful resource geared toward teens on the third page entitled “Going Blue”.  I have always wanted to incorporate more material about the ocean and the health of the ocean in my classroom, although it is not in the Iowa Core.  I plan to start the school year with this resource, using the lesson plan provided.  As students complete a service project using the guidelines in the lesson plan, we will have a reference for the remainder of the year as we investigate other topics in science. Hopefully, this will increase their retention of science and initiate awareness of how their daily choices affect an area of the Earth that is important to us all.
