living science books

In a previous post, I mentioned that for science this year (and probably throughout the elementary years) we've opted to do nature study, gardening, cooking, reading living books about science and visiting science museums.

The best index I've seen of recommended living science books was put together by the North Houston Charlotte Mason support group. If you can get past the page design (that's the web-developer in me talking) it seems to be a good source of information. NOTE: Turn down your speakers!

Simply Charlotte Mason provides a set of lesson plans entitled 106 Days of Creation that looks interesting, though it was a bit much for me this year. We might use it in later years. They list the supplemental living books to use on their science page.

My sister sent me this link to several books online about animals by Arthur Scott Bailey.

Here are some of the books about nature and science that we have enjoyed so far this year.
