K12Science Podcast: Middle School Picture – Books
I was recently reading the September-October 2025 issue of “Science Scope”, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.
In this issue, I read the section, “Interdisciplinary Ideas” written by Katie Coppens. She wrote an article entitled, “Enhancing Understanding Through Science-Themed Picture Books.”
Embedding a high-interest, science-themed picture book into a unit enhances students’ ability to learn vocabulary and visualize scientific concepts. The approachable style and ability to convey information visually makes picture books an engaging learning tool for students of all ages.
