I went to blogsearch.google.com and searched for children's science books. I found this great site: http://urban-science.blogspot.com This site reviews several science books with educational topics appropriate and relevant to 3-5 grades. It points out the objectives that each book teaches. Not only does it have books that aid in elementary level lessons and promote literacy, it also gives photographs and stories of the real life science-related experiences.
Here's an excerpt from the blog that made me realize this blog would be a perfect addition to my site:
"Book Review: Birds of Prey
Title: Birds of Prey: An Introduction
Author: Robert Bateman
Publisher: Scholastic Canada
This book includes lots of great Animal Behavior descriptions of Raptors, also known as birds of prey. You and your students will learn all about each of the different types of raptors – owls, hawks, eagles, falcons, kites, and vultures......"
This could be used to teach a lesson on food-webs, animal adaptations, or even habitats. All learning objectives in the upper elementary grades!
