The Teacher’s Edition of Poetry Friday Anthology for Science includes 218 by 78 award-winning and popular poets, exploring science standards while also incorporating literacy skills; poems that can be used as part of a science lesson. Follow weekly themes or use the index to identify relevant science topics.

Poetry Friday is a simple and effective way to infuse poetry into your classroom and current teaching practice.

Match poems and science lessons using the weekly themes or the index at the back of the book to identify relevant science topics. Add poetry sharing to a planned science lesson by taking one minute to read aloud a science poem to set the stage for the instruction. Or conversely, end with a poem to reinforce the concepts introduced in a science lesson and build knowledge retention.

Topics covered: scientific practices, lab safety, tools of science, matter, force/motion/energy, light and sound, space, the water cycle, weather and climate, forces of nature, natural resources, ecosystems, video technology, computers, famous scientists, science careers, and more.

For a complete learning experience, pair this Teacher’s Edition with illustrated grade-level Student Editions for each grade: K, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
