Trade Book Project

Although we never did the Trade Book Project in my science class, I felt that it was still important to find a book applying to science. I chose the book The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. This book can be used to teach about the life of a seed and how it eventually becomes a flower. The book details the life span of a seed and what occurs during each season. I found this interesting because I always just thought that a seed was planted and that was it. Instead, this shows how a seed is blown in the wind and how animals interact with this. This book can be used to teach the younger grades and can be used in a unit plan regarding plant life. I think incorporating literacy into science is very important, and using books is a great way to do it!
