This review is from: Irresistible Science Pocket Charts (Grades K-2) (Paperback)

This book includes 12 fun science poems as well as ideas for activities to accompany each poem. They also recommend related literature. The ideas are really cute and my first graders are enjoying them. There are also reproducible patterns for making pictures to go in the chart with the poems. The science topics included are: animal homes, animal babies, hibernation, teeth, physical changes, seeds and plants, trees and leaves, sun, stars, rain, snow and colors. Due to the rhymes, my first graders can read and manipulate the chart independently in centers once it has been taught, and they have fun "teaching" it to eachother. If you're looking for some pocket chart ideas, you will probably enjoy using this book.
