Last week in class the only form of science I observed was during reading, when the class read a story entitled "Pelican was Hungry". This book was about a pelican, of course, and described his habitat near the ocean then went on to discuss various animals he thought he could eat but that turned out to be not the type of food a pelican eats. Dolphins, turtles, sharks, birds and a mouse were some of the animals introduced before the pelican finally finds a fish-exactly the food he likes to eat. The class discussed how the pelican looks and why his long bill and flying abilities helped him survive. The class made some great observations, such as "he has webbed feet so he can swim". Though it wasn't directly a science lesson, this story directly relates to science and introduced the class to a food chain and helped them make meaningful predictions through observations while incorporating science into the classroom.
