Living and Nonliving Things: My Friend Ziggy Knows Science (Life Science Book 3)
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Education & Teaching

This book exposes Pre-Kindergarten students to the wonders of science using the concept of living and nonliving things as a guide. Within the pages of this book are various types of animals, trees, and plants and how they adapt and change continually based on the different weather patterns and seasons. The author Siegfried Howell has taught science, for over 20 years, to all levels of students, from kindergarten to high school students. He has used his knowledge of curricula to deconstruct the state standards for each grade level and bring concepts that help students understand life science. Using the Common Core standards as a guide, this series brings to life the ways that all living things must adapt to live and adapt to their environment. The “My Friend Ziggy Knows Life Science” series includes four books that cover topics outlined by Common Core for pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten students: • Identifies the characteristics of living things • Identifies the characteristics of nonliving things • Observe and identifies similarities between plants and animals • Observe and identifies differences between plants and animals • Can classify living and nonliving things based on known characteristics of living things • Explains the need for plants and animals to consume water and food • Identifies simple life cycles and adaptations of plants and animals as they live in their environment The four books in this series include: • The ABCs of Science (book 1) • The 5 Senses In Science (book 2) • Living and Nonliving Things (book 3) • Cycles and Patterns (book 4) Although this book has a simple approach to science exposure, it will stimulate a student’s curiosity to learn more about the world around them. When students have a burning desire to learn, science is easier to understand as they move from grade to grade. I hope that this book sparks an interest in students to ask questions and learn more about the different science topics explained in the pages of this book.
