Reading ages 6+ ( )

This book would be good for primary aged students. This book is about two kids who are wondering about the earth around them and the life cycle of plants. Through the book it talks about different aspects of earth and the life cycle. This book would be good to use in the classroom to talk about science, the life cycle, and plants. ( )

This is an informational text book that walks the reader through the process of a seed growing into a plant. It uses the example of a sunflower growing in a garden. What I like about this book is that it includes information about oxygen and carbon dioxide, but also discusses it in a manner that would still appeal to younger elementary. It incorporates the science with the story very well but not in away that is overbearing. It also talks about the importance of knowing the cycle. It is informative but fun. I think that I would incorporate this book further into a unit as it does include some technical information. It could potentially be used alongside an experiment where students are growing bean plants and students could track where their plant may be in the cycle. ( )

This is a great nonfiction informational for pre-k through 2nd grade students. It talks about the life cycle of plants starting from when they are first seeds to when they are fully bloomed. It gives information on what plants require to grow; proper soil, water & sunlight while exploring the life cycle. This is a great introductory to get kids curious about nature and how things in life come to be. This would be a great book to use when spring is approaching S that is when plants begin to bloom from the winter ground. This book allows teachers to encourage further exploration and learning on how plants and even other things grow! A fun activity to follow this book would be for each student to be able to plant their own plant and watch it bloom and grow in the classroom and eventually take it home and perhaps plant it in their yard! I enjoy this book for the opportunity it gives for engaged, informational learning! ( )
