My Project

I love how curious and eager my students are to learn. They approach every new topic with excitement, especially when they can connect it to something they enjoy. Science is an area that sparks their interest, and they’re always asking questions about how the world works around them. My students thrive when learning is interactive, hands-on, and fun, and I know that these science-themed picture books will be the perfect tools to engage their imaginations and bring complex scientific concepts to life.

Books like The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip and Oscar and the Bird, A Book About Electricity will help my students understand fundamental concepts like electricity, and bring these ideas to life through storytelling and fun illustrations.

Earthquakes and Flood Warning will introduce them to natural disasters and their effects on our planet, sparking conversations about the environment and geology.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind and The Boy Who Drew Birds will inspire my students with real-life stories of scientific exploration and discovery, showing them the power of curiosity and perseverance in solving problems. Meanwhile, How Mountains Are Made and The Magic School Bus Presents: Volcanoes and Earthquakes will allow them to visualize earth science concepts like tectonic plates and volcanoes, helping them understand the forces that shape our planet.

The diversity of topics in these books will ensure my students can connect with science on a personal level, whether it’s exploring how sunlight becomes electricity or learning about fungi’s role in nature. Each book will make a challenging concept more accessible and fun, deepening my students' understanding of science while fueling their natural curiosity. I can’t wait to see how these books inspire my students to keep exploring and asking questions about the world around them!
