I Teach Science, But I Didn’t Love It Growing Up

Growing up, I was not a science kid. I mean, I think I somewhat was intrigued by it, but if you would have asked me if I was going to do something in the field of science, I would have wholeheartedly said, NO WAY. I always struggled a bit with math and science growing up and for a solid year of college I had to work REALLY hard to wrap my brain around biology.

I was not the typical science student and I know that I am not raising typical science students and that a large majority of the students that walk into my classroom are not science students either. That is ALWAYS in the back of my head. I am constantly reminded that my main goal in teaching science is to let my students know that they are not defined by what they are good or bad at, but at the effort they put in. I continuously search for lessons, labs and activities that will draw my students in and bridge some gaps and I was so excited when I found the Pipette Kids Science Coloring and Activity Book!

Pipette Kids: Science Coloring & Activity Book

The Pipette Kids: Science Coloring & Activity Book is an awesome interactive book that features a huge variety of activities and history of science with some incredibly student friendly illustrations and directions. You can grab a copy on Amazon for $13.00 which is a steal for any quality science materials. The book is geared toward elementary aged students and it absolutely is accessible and amazing for them.

I had previewed it with my own elementary age children and you guys, they nearly cried when I told them they could not color in this or do any of the activities until I showed it to my teaching partners. I have to admit, I was unsure if this coloring and activity book would be worthwhile for my high school students. However, I found some fantastic pages that we have already scheduled into our curriculum at the high school level.

Adaptation for High School Students

I took the Pipette Kids: Science Coloring and Activity Book to a recent district meeting about our English Language Learners (ELL) and we passed the book around among about 15 teachers that were oohhing and ahhhing over everything in it. We started marking pages and activities that we wanted to use this year and thinking of ways that we could incorporate various activities into our own classrooms.

Although the book is geared for elementary aged students, there are many topics that are covered, that are not taught in schools until middle or high school. Our team brainstormed and felt like we would be able to use many of the activities as attention grabbers, or ways to elicit that background information they have stored away, or to even add some more visual and tactile lessons that would reach students that are not typically math and science kids (hello, me!)

Our teachers are very excited to use the coloring, labs, activities and even history with our students. We have already been implementing a few of the activities and lessons with our special education students and ELL’s and they are responding well!

Giveaway Time!

This book is awesome. Not just for teachers, but for parents that are looking to get their children into science a bit more but are not necessarily science aficionados themselves (or heck, maybe they are)!
