(social studies, language arts, math); (4) "It's About Time" (language arts, social studies); (5) "From Your House to My House" (language arts, history, geography, art); (6) "Learning About Art: My Favorite Things" (language arts, art); (7) "Consumer Education: Will That Doll Really Fly?" (social studies, language arts, media literacy, consumer education, math); (8) "Weather Disasters: Why Did It Rain on My Parade?" (language arts, geography, social studies, science, math); and (9) "It's All in the Stars: How the Constellations Got Their Names" (science, language arts).
