Young children love to explore. They love to learn about the world around them. We can encourage this learning with great books and fun activities.
The LET’S-READ-AND-FIND-OUT SCIENCE® series of books are a great place to start to cultivate a child’s desire to learn and explore. The LET’S-READ-AND-FIND-OUT SCIENCE® series offers books on a wide range of topics for ages 4-9.
I’m teaming up with some really fantastic bloggers to bring you a collection of blog posts dedicated to this wonderful series of books. Each participating blogger has selected a LET’S-READ-AND-FIND-OUT SCIENCE® book to feature, in a post, along with a related experiment, activity, or craft.
Each post will also include a list of additional resources related to the topic of the book such as additional books, videos, websites, and links to other activities around the web.
If you are a home educator or early education teacher, these books coupled with the activities below make for a great weekly science lesson and an introduction to the scientific method for kids. To record and document your child’s learning, print out the FREE journal page at the end of this post; print one out for each book/topic you do and you’ll have a nice little journal of what your child did and learned throughout the year (there is a printable journal cover too).
Our hope is that these posts will be a great science resource for parents of preschoolers and early-elementary-age children.
Here are the books that will be covered and the dates they will be published –
Once the post is live, the date will be removed and a link to the post/activity will be put in its place.
