What Is Science is a great book to introduce students to science and all that it entails. The book lists many things such as; soil, rock, seeds, wind, fossils, gas (etc) that are the study of science. I enjoyed how it listed so many things that are science because when you're introducing students to science, having them see everything in this world that is science, can get the wheels rolling in their brain and can have form lots of questions on what they wonder, what they want to explore, and question. I would recommend this book for grades K-3. The pictures illustrated in the book can also support what the text is saying so that can be a great help to the students who are struggling readers or ELLs. ( )

This book is perfect when introducing a child or a classroom of children to science. It includes so many different aspects of science (without getting too much into detail) that are vastly different from each other. It explains that science is "so many things" - such as how seeds grow, how trains go, or how hurricanes blow. I thought it was such a cute introductory book and love how it extends the meaning of science to so many different parts of everyday life and nature. ( )

The book What is Science? describes science as being stars and planets, rocks and soil, hurricanes and airplanes and so much more. It's also about curiosity. There are questions and possible answers.This helps the reader understand how exciting science can be. I give this book five out of five stars because Rebecca Kai Dotlich does a good job of providing students with simple words and child-friendly illustrations.The book is a short poem spread out onto many pages. I would use this book for an anticipatory set and on the first day of science to introduce what it is. This book would be great for grades K-2. ( )

This book goes over all that science can be. It shows many topics including space, rocks, plants, natural hazards, and many other things. It talks about how people question what is happening in the world so scientist try to discover and come up with explanations for what is happening. It ends with the line, "So what is science? So many things!" I like this book because it can connect to all kids interests. Some kids will be interested in the space part and some will be interested more in the plant part (and all the other things). I also really like the pictures. They are fun and colorful while showing the topic. I would use this book to introduce the ideas of science to young kids. I would probably do a read aloud and then create an anchor chart that shows all what science can be. ( )

What is science? Science is the study of so many things! This picture book for young children uses fun, bright illustrations to showcase the many different things that science explores. It uses children as the scientists, which allows the imagination of children to see themselves in the role of a scientist. Who wouldn’t want to put themselves in a dinosaur dig or watch a volcano blow? While this book does not delve in depth into any one area of science, it does give a vast overview of all the things that science studies. “What is Science?” would be a great addition to any Pre-K to 1st-grade classroom library.
