Here is the
next installment in my series of science poetry tied to science-themed
picture books. My graduate student, Carole Hensleigh (in my "Poetry
for Children" class) selected the focus on “coral reefs and ocean animals”
from the series of professional resource books, "Picture Perfect
Science Lessons" by Karen Ansberry and Emily Morgan (and published by
the National Science Teachers Association). Here are her three infographics
centered around coral
reefs and ocean animals.
The focus picture book pair is:
- Over in the Ocean: In a Coral Reef by Marianne Berkes
- Coral Reef Animals by Francine Galko
The poem
that works perfectly with this book pair is “Coral” by Kate Coombs from her book, Water Sings Blue. Below is a graphic featuring all these books, followed by
the featured poem and Take 5 activities to accompany the poem
along with a "bonus" poem, “Moving to Atlantis City 2112,” by Steven Withrow from The Poetry of Science. Enjoy!
