Using Fictional Stories as a Pathway to Science Content
Topics that you will find in the list include:
Many categories also have subcategories! 🙂 (*Please note: even though biographical picture books are not “fictional” they are a feature of this list.)
A few weeks, I displayed some science-themed fictional stories in our lounge and created a corresponding hallway display on a bulletin board:
Next to the book display, I created a handout for my teachers that had all the books listed, a summary, and some possible science connections. You can access the PDF by clicking HERE.
Even more recently, I was able to purchase more books for our school, and I did another book display in the lounge.
Like before, I created a handout for the teachers that had all of the books listed, along with a summary and possible science connections. You can access that PDF by clicking HERE. 🙂
To support teacher and student interest in the books–and to keep the up the awareness about the books, I created an interactive bulletin board featuring one of the stories, “The Most Magnificent Thing”. I am thrilled to report it was a huge success! Take a look at the pictures. Note: I put post-it notes on white construction squares and up in the left-hand corner I added a pen and directions that said: Place the predictions on the post-its. I also added one prediction, to help clarify.
And just this morning I got my next interactive bulletin board idea! 🙂
