Erin –
Although getting older, this is a wonderful resource for science elementary teachers for hands on lessons using literature for support. Lots of great ideas that can be adapted as well. Backed by research and includes ways to get additional resources mentioned in the book, prepared reproducibles and answer keys.
Lauren Owens –
Another great book filled with science lessons covering tons of science topics from grades 3-6. These science lessons are more like experiments for the students to do. It has great ideas that can be done with the whole class and some that can be turned into science centers and be student-led. Recommended grade level: for teacher use for grades 3-6
