Analysis: I enjoyed this book because it provide so much information but in a really simple manner. The illustrations are bright and bold and really bring to life the world of science and the idea that science is everywhere. The rhyming throughout the book and the questions asked throughout keep the reader engaged and thinking about the content.
Content Area: Science
Curriculum: This book is so general that you could do a wide variety of activities to connect the book. Creating a flip book with the title of “What is Science” gives each individual student the chance to think about their world around them and decide what around them is Science. This would start a great conversation and generate a list of possible topics to focus on for a research project or group movie project.
