We believe in books. Somehow we want to make childhood better, and we believe that a book given at the right moment can work magic in a child's life. -Ann Schlee

Workshop Goals Receive an overview of Picture Book Science Learn how to integrate picture books and reading strategies into elementary science lessons Experience the 5E Instructional Model Participate in Model Lessons Have some fun 

INQUIRY Learners are engaged by scientifically oriented questions. Learners give priority to evidence, which allows them to develop and evaluate explanations that address scientifically oriented questions. Learners formulate explanations from evidence to address scientifically oriented questions. Learners evaluate their explanations in light of alternative explanations, particularly those reflecting scientific understanding. Learners communicate and justify their proposed explanations.

Why Use Children’s Literature? Lack of Time - Integration is Key Old Dinosaur Unit Math & Literacy Standards Common Core State Standards Rigorous standards + integration

ROLLER COASTERS: K-4

AR Curriculum Frameworks PS.6.K.3 Demonstrate the effects of the force of gravity on objects PS. 6.2.1 Investigate the relationship between force and motion PS. 6.4.1 Investigate the relationship between force and direction PS. 6.4.2 Investigate the realtionship between force and mass

A Framework for K-12 Science Education Core Idea PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions How can one explain and predict interactions between objects and within systems of objects? PS2.A: FORCES AND MOTION How can one predict an object’s continued motion, changes in motion, or stability? PS2.B: TYPES OF INTERACTIONS What underlying forces explain the variety of interactions observed?

Why Read Aloud in Science? Opportunity to model the strategies of proficient readers Students’ minds are free to explore the meaning of difficult science concepts when the teacher does the decoding Fine-tunes students’ observational/listening skills

Why Read Aloud in Science? Being read to is the most influential activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading (Anderson, Heibert, Scott, and Wilkinson 1985).

Suggestions Choose science objectives first Collaborate with a knowledgeable colleague Choose a variety of books, including fiction/nonfiction pairs

Why Use Children’s Literature? Context for Concepts More Depth of Coverage Improved Reading and Science Skills Engaging to Students of All Ages

CHEMICAL CHANGE CAFÉ: 3-6

AR Curriculum Frameworks PS.4.5.1 Demonstrate multiple ways to classify objects PS.5.4.2 Demonstrate chemical changes in matter CCSS

A FRAMEWORK FOR K-12 SCIENCE EDUCATION Core Idea PS1 Matter and Its Interactions How can one explain the structure, properties, and interactions of matter? PS1.B: CHEMICAL REACTIONS How do substances combine or change (react) to make new substances? How does one characterize and explain these reactions and make predictions about them?

Cautions Story line may distract –stay focused on the science content Be aware of “watered-down” science content Be aware of misconceptions

Outstanding Science Tradebooks K-12 Favorite Children’s Picture Books for Teaching Science in Grades K-6

DOWN THE DRAIN: 3-6

AR Curriculum Frameworks ESS.8.K.2 Identify the uses of land and water ESS.8.1.2 Identify common uses of Earth’s resources ESS.8.4.2 Analyze the impact of using natural resources ESS.8.4.3Differentiate between renewable and nonrenewable resources ESS.8.4.4 Evaluate the impact of water pollution

CCSS A FRAMEWORK FOR K-12 SCIENCE EDUCATION Core Idea LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics How and why do organisms interact with their environment and what are the effects of these interactions? LS2.C: ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS, FUNCTIONING, AND RESILIENCE What happens to ecosystems when the environment changes? Core Idea ESS3 Earth and Human Activity How do Earth’s surface processes and human activities affect each other?

If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder…he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in. -Rachel Carson 35
