Children’s Books and Science Lessons

 When I’ve done science stations with Littles, I like to include books: Lyle Crocodile books and a grow alligator, Mouse Paint and color mixing, Germs Make Me Sick with Glo Germs.


NSTA has a series of Picture Perfect Science Lessons, which use children’s books with science lessons.  Here are book lists for two of the books in the series.  Scroll down in this book sample to see Chemical Change Café  paired with Eric Carole’s Pancakes, Pancakes!  The science lessons are all about chemical change. Children make pancakes.  

Here are more ideas for Storybook Science: Jack and the Beanstalk (plant seeds) or The Three Little Pigs (build).  Read a Tree is from Start with a Book!  Their website is just loaded with book and science lessons, such as Be an Inventor!  Be inspired!  What could be better than combining reading and science?
