Teachers raved when NSTA Press published Picture-Perfect Science Lessons, 3-6.

More Picture-Perfect Science Lessons, K-4! This volume offers 15 new lessons that combine picture books and inquiry to develop students interest in science and reading. More Picture-Perfect Science Lessons, K-4, follows the same winning formula that made the first volume a bestseller. The lessons cover physical science, life science, and Earth and space science. They include reproducible student pages and assessments. They feature embedded reading-comprehension strategies.

The award-winning authors know from their own classroom experience how important it is for time-starved teachers to integrate science and reading in a natural way ... and how students with reading troubles can benefit from an extra nudge to get engaged in science texts.

Excellent Educational Resource - Debbie Watlington - Mc Minnville, TN USA
If you are unsure of how to do "hands-on" inquiry based science lessons, this book is for you! The lessons are detailed and based on sound pedagogy. The resources needed to teach the lessons are basic to any classroom and thus are not costly to prepare. This is the second book published after the highly successful "Picture Perfect Science" and was much anticipated by all.More Picture Perfect Science Lessons
