Big Mama
Poems and Plays for Earth Science
Like a surging river the human brain
has a very powerful flow,
and the flow gets deeper and stronger and faster the more and more you know.
from ‘Power of the Flow’
Sometimes poignant, often comical, always scientifically accurate-this collection of dramatic poems and short plays breathes life into the study of Earth Science. Grounded in the principle that children remember 90% of what they do in dramatic presentation, ‘Big Mama’ is the fifth book in the Brod Bagert’s He ART of Science series, providing parents, teachers, and young learners with a comprehensive source of dramatic content literature, both entertaining and instructional. This poignant yet comical collection of dramatic poems, monologues, and short plays stimulates powerful insights into the mechanisms of everyday weather and the realities of long-term climate.
Follow a single snowflake in her journey through the entire water cycle. Enjoy an interview with Betty Basalt and Gabe Granite, crushed against each other at the San Andreas Fault, as they explain the movement of tectonic plates at transform boundaries. Learn about the rock cycle from the masters of mariachi themselves-Señor Igneous, Señorita Sedimentary, and Señora Metamorphic.

om the solid metal of Earth’s inner core to the outer reaches of the Exosphere, ‘Big Mama’ transforms the detached scientific concepts of Earth Science into the joy of dramatic personal experience-accurate, entertaining, and irresistibly memorable.
