education Text Sets BETA PRODUCT Science Connected NAUTIL. US NAUTIL. US | TEXT SETS Introducing Nautilus Education The modern world has placed an unprecedented emphasis on science literacy. But most existing science texts do not emphasize literacy, and most literary texts don’t have science. This Nautilus Education text set pamphlet is a beta product intended to fill this gap. It contains three groups of articles from the award-winning science magazine, Nautilus, each accompanied by lesson plans and guides for teachers. Key science concepts like genetics and astronomy are explored through narrative story telling and tailor-made artwork, letting science spill over its usual borders, and waking the imagination and interest of the student. This kind of literary science classroom material was designed to helps teachers satisfy the new U.S. common core and next gen standards but have global application. The relevant standards are listed in each lesson plan. Nautilus is looking for partners interested in using and further developing this kind of content. For more information, please write to education@nautil.us. —Michael Segal Editor-in-Chief About Nautilus Magazine Nautilus is a new kind of science magazine. Each monthly issue tackles a single topic in contemporary science using multiple vantage points, from biology and physics to culture and philosophy. We are science, connected. 2 NAUTIL.
