The author of a soon-to-be published CSI Chapters book has been recognized for her services to education in Wellington, New Zealand.
Dr Gillian Turner was recently awarded an education "Welly Award" for inspiring generations of young scientists through her work with science fairs and teaching.
It was noted that Dr Turner has "an infectious passion for science, which reflects her own enthusiasm for learning and research and overflows to everyone she interacts with."
Dr Turner's book, North Pole South Pole (Awa Press) has been adapted into The Great Earth Magnet, an engaging graphic nonfiction book that unravels the scientific mysteries of the source of the earth's magnetism.
The Great Earth Magnet is one of 25 books that will be published in early 2011 as CSI Chapters, a reading series aimed at accelerating comprehension strategy development across the content areas for students ages 8-12.
