VIvi Loves Science - Wind and Water review

 Vivi Loves Science by Kimberly Derting

Vivi loves science! In this STEM-themed Level 3 I Can Read! title, Vivi helps her community clean up the beach after a storm and learns about how wind and water shape the landscape.(goodreads summary)

 

 

 

 


This is the third book in the science series but this time Vivi learns about the forces of wind and water.  One night a storm moves through and Vivi, with the help of her friend Graeme, volunteer to clean up the beach debris.  But they notice that the tide pools and sand dunes have changed?  This question opens up another great opportunity for a chance to learn about natural forces and the impact it can have.
 
This story will introduce readers to wind and water and how the two can cause erosion which changes the shape of the land. There are many familiar faces like Ranger Earle and Ms. Cousteau answering Vivi's questions in detail.  What I really like about this series is that it is simple for kids to understand but yet very informative that they will learn so much. Vivi and Graeme helping to clean up the beach is a great way to show kids the importance of taking care of our environment. The end has a wonderful hands on erosion experiment for kids to perform in the classroom or on their own.  This is a great book for the independent reader who loves science.  I think this is a "just right book" for ages 7-10.~
