Let's chat about living books and science! In this episode of the Tips for Homeschool Science podcast, we'll be discussing what to look for in a living book for science, how you can use these books, and a few suggestions for you to check out! 

Key Takeaways

1. You want a living book to pull the reader in such a way that they don't even realize that they're learning about science.
2. We can use living books as a resource that we add on to our current science program to add a little bit more interest. Or we can use living books as our main spine or main source of information for science.
3. However you choose to use living books for science, you can't go wrong! You are creating an interest and a passion in this subject within your students by using these resources.
