My earlier thread about this was destroyed in the software glitch tornado here in midwestern SCM
, so I thought I’d try it again.I was reading the science chapter in Catherine Levison’s book, “A Charlotte Mason Education,” and she had mentioned that if you find a really good living book for science, you should make certain to recommend it to all of your homeschooling friends and support groups.
They can be hard to find (good living science books), so I was asking for anyone to chime in with their favorite titles and include why you liked it and with what ages you used them.
Love all the sharing that goes on here….thanks!
Not sure it is exactly a living book – although it is written by a single author that loves science. I guess it just isn’t a narrative style….
“Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes” – has lots of great experiments (ie, the FUN experiements) with common items.
Smithsonian Backyard and Smithsonian Oceanic series
A Tree is Nice by Udry
The Real Hole by Beverly Cleary (I use it for plants/trees in preschool and K)
Be Nice to Spiders by Margaret Bloy Graham
Let’s Read and Find out series (various authors)
Robert McClung is my favorite living science author for children. Sadly OOP.
Gladys Conklin books
Here Come the…series by Alice Goudey
Some of our favorites–
Archimedes and the Door of Science – Jeanne Bendick
