What's Inside

Read this one on one and say the rhyme "I'm a Little Teapot" together. The book uses a familiar song to help children notice matter and hear science words in a simple, playful way.

Children practice poetry, rhythm, and basic science language as they think about solids, liquids, and gas. It fits well for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary children learning science through song.

Try reading it aloud more than once and pausing to name examples of solids, liquids, and gas from everyday life.
