It also teaches that it is okay to be different from your peers. ]]> 2016-11-06 20:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/135630089 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/135630648 Students would love this book because it is different. It explains not only what volcanoes are, but also how they can be a positive force by creating new land and adding nutrients to the soil. The text has two parts, with one layer of simple text meant to be read aloud and the other for those who want to delve more deeply into what volcanoes are all about.]]> 2016-11-06 20:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/135630648 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/135630843 This book is an introduction to bird-watching and it encourages kids to get outdoors with a sketchbook and really look around and observe bird characteristics. It also shows students how there are birds everywhere, you just need to look up. ]]> 2016-11-06 20:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/135630843 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137210096 This book features two young scientists, Sydney and Symon, a sister and brother team who explore their world by asking questions and conducting experiments with help from their family and teachers. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137210096 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211010 This book demonstrates the engineering and design process by explaining how simple machines work. I would use this book for an upper elementary classroom to to challenge students to use different types of tools when wanting to solve problems. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211010 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211058 This book is a great one to show students the importance of becoming an imaginative engineer. Rosie likes imagining and exploring everywhere she can. This book is also connected to Rosie the Riveter. The Godmother of maker women was World War II Rosie, “We Can Do It!” The Riveter, whom the title character of this book is lucky enough to have as a great-great aunt. You can connect this book to social studies. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211058 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211165 In this book, a little girl is determined to “make the most magnificent thing,” until she repeatedly tries, fails, and quits. Her dog later convinces her to try again and she succeeds. Becoming an engineer is never easy, but this book proves if you keep trying and improving- anything is possible!]]> 2016-11-13 18:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211165 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211510 This is a fun book for preschool students to be introduced to oxygen and how it is all around us. This book would be used for early childhood content, but teachers could use it to encourage creative thinking and problem solving through STEM follow-up activities. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211510 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211622 This is a great science content book that can be incorporated into STEM because it shows many things that can be done in space. Teachers can take this idea and run with many STEM extension activities. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137211622 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137212964 A young boy named Jack details all the fantastical elements of his dream car, and really should be getting a job offer from Google pretty soon because his design blows way past driverless. This book could be used in science, language arts, in setting goals, and pursuing passions. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137212964 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137214372 This book is great for science content that will encourage students to build and learn a lot about bridges. This book could also be used in math with measuring, labeling, and counting. I have seen this book read in a classroom and the students love it!]]> 2016-11-13 18:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137214372 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137214596 This book will be used for preschool students to teach them about weather. This is an interactive book that encourages students to explore weather and enjoy being outside on different days. Teachers can use this in science and math by graphing or comparing different weather patterns or preferences. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137214596 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137215593 This book shows what a difference each person can make on the environment. It challenges students to be creative in ways to help the environment. Teachers can use many different extensions with this activity in many different content areas. ]]> 2016-11-13 18:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137215593 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137215826 This Dr. Seuss story reminds us to use our resources wisely. It encourages students to think outside of the box. This story can be a stretch for teachers to connect it to many content areas, but it has many parts that teachers can take apart and be creative with. ]]> 2016-11-13 19:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137215826 krebsmn https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137216161 I could see this book being read aloud to a classroom full of students and students taking it and running. They could brainstorm possible and impossible activities—making predictions, recording data and graphing results. This book is so creative and imaginary that students don't have to think in one direction, but they can think with many outcomes in mind. ]]> 2016-11-13 19:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/krebsmn/wgytjrzsw0ds/wish/137216161
