      This book is all about what a scientist is and what they do. It could be used in K-2 to talk about how each one of the kids are scientists (I like it because it has pictures of kids as scientists - multi-racial and both genders). This could also be used to introduce the scientific process! The book goes through the steps a scientist takes during experiments as well as the methods used in some instances (they learn with their senses). It could even be used to teach on the senses!
