Perfect Pairs, K-2

Using Fiction & Nonfiction Picture Books to Teach Life Science, K-2

Beschreibung

Hands-on lessons can be fun and compelling, but when it comes to life science, they aren't always possible, practical, effective, or safe. Children can't follow a lion as it stalks a gazelle, visit the exotic kapok tree in a rain forest, or swim alongside the underwater life in a pond.
