Mudpies to Magnets: A Preschool Science Curriculum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just checked out Mudpies to Magnets and More Mudpies to Magnets from our local library. I have heard so many wonderful comments about these books, but wanted to see for myself before purchasing them. They are great! I'm definitely buying them for our home. We will be homeschooling our daugther for kindergarten next year, and these books touch on all the subjects I want to cover - weather, magnetism, geology, plants, human body and senses, and much more. Directions are very clear, experiments and activities are easy to do. This is more than just a book of science experiments - activities utilizing arts and crafts, movement, and language skills are also included throughout. These activities are also very easily adaptable up through early elementary age. Highly recommend these books!

Clouds (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Two children lie side by side on a blanket looking up at the sky. It's a peaceful country setting with cows, sheep and horse grazing nearby. They are looking up at the sky at the clouds moving across the skyline. "Most clouds are too far away to feel," but if you are around fog you can feel that. You can learn a lot about clouds just by looking at them. Their shapes, size, shade and how high up they are can tell you what the weather will be like. If you have an outside activity planned, it would be nice to know if the weather will be nice or stormy.
In this book you will learn what clouds are made up of, the different kinds of clouds (cirrostratus, cirrus, cirrocumulus, cumulonimbus, altostratus, altocumulus, cumulus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus, and stratus), what their names tell us, what they will do or not do if you see them, which clouds tell you it will get colder, which clouds tell you it will rain or snow, which tell you that it will rain or snow steadily, which ones tell you a thunderstorm is coming (take cover!), the importance of clouds and how you can tell the weather is going to change. If you learn all about clouds, you will be able to tell what the weather will be in advance, just like a meteorologist!
This is a nicely detailed, very informative book about clouds that will not only interest the young child, but also the adult. The illustrations are similar to folk art paintings and are very appealing. In the back of the book you will find a handful of cloud facts and will find instructions on how to "Create a Cloud" (adult participation is recommended). This is a Stage 1 book that explains "simple science concepts for preschoolers and kindergartners." Which cloud formations will make you run for cover? If you don't know the names of them, you just might want to read this book!
