When the teacher tells his class that they can hear the poetry of science in everything, a student is struck with a curse and begins hearing nothing but science verses that sound very much like some well-known poems.

Science and poetry are both great. They should get together more often. ( )

I do enjoy these books. It is hard to be serious all the time.

This book mentions evolution and Darwin etc.

I think this is a fantastic book that can be used in a Language Arts class or a Science class. This book talks about science topics in poems. In a Language Arts class, you can have students create their own poems about something they are learning in class and use these as an example and inspiration. You could also use this book in a science class to introduce a topic to the students and it will help the students retain information on the topic. This is a fun way to combine learning and poetry.

This Golden Duck award winner is a colorful book that covers many science subjects, Each page covers a different topic that a young reader might be interested in. I would use this book throughout the year to introduce topics in a fun manner. The book is written in a poetic manner as well. ( )

This book is a collection of, you guessed it, Science Verse! I've had this since I was a child, and it was one of the few things that got me interested in doing science. I was a big literature kid, so if you have students who are more on the literature side of things than on the science side of things, this is a great way to get them a bit more motivated. A lot of the poems here are based on real poems, so you could tie it into more of a literature look by examining the original poems. It's also nice that the science poems don't take themselves too seriously, so kids can get a laugh out of it. Dino-sore was one of my favorites because it poked fun at the idea of every grade teaching about dinosaurs rather than exploring new science topics. I think it's a great book to get students thinking about science. It's not one I would read to students from cover to cover, but rather I would use the poems for examining specific things. If you happen to be doing evolution, there's a poem for that. Want students to think about the properties of matter, or the properties of light? There's poems for those as well! It's a great diving board to get into more science. ( )
