1. Beaty, A., & Griffith, Theanne. (2022). The Science of Baking (Ada Twist, Scientist: The Why
Files). Amulet Books.
This is a book all about the science behind baking. It breaks down all the
ingredients and what affect they have on the baking process. Each ingredient
goods. It also includes experiments that how the effect of not adding specific
ingredients to the mix. This connects baking to full chemical reactions that
though it is a kids book. It is a way to get students to think about what they have learn
previously about chemical reactions and changes. If there is no strategy attached to this book,
students would have more of a desire to not pay attention. This book walks through how each
part of baking is science and how it affects the way things bake. Students should have some
prior knowledge on how different things are taken into consideration when cooking but have
never thought of it as chemistry. The anticipation guide will help reveal misconceptions that
have been made previously and specifically address the common misconceptions. The after part
allows students to see what the correct answer is and provide a description of why if needed.
2. Sterer, Gideon., & Cho, Lian. (2021) It Began with Lemonade. Penguin Publishing House.
This is a book about a little kid who was bored on a hot summer day. She wanted
to sell lemonade. She made the perfect mixture and set off to sell lemonade. She
could not find an empty street around her house anywhere. Her lemonade stand
began to roll away from her. It ended up landing near the river where she was
able to sell to one client. Students can see which parts of the lemonade make it a
Using the online discussion strategy for this tradebook, it allows students to place their
thoughts and answers on the board anonymously. This book will be used to try and deceiver
which of the parts of the lemonade making is chemical properties/reactions and which are
physical. This strategy would go well with this book because of there being so many different
aspects of making lemonade and chemical reactions that the discussion strategy allows
students to be slowly walked through each part by starting with simpler questions for the to
answer. These progressively get harder, and they all will relate to the final questions at the end
which are which are chemical properties, chemical reactions, and physical properties.
3. Chad, Jon. (2023). Science Comics: The Periodic Table of Elements: Understanding the
Building Blocks of Everything, First Second.
Chemistry experiments have gotten placed in the hands of a bad guy. Mel can
use her knowledge of the periodic table to stop the evil experiments. The book
helps quickly understands all the elements on the table. Each elements can be
see how it behaves in actual experiments and it offers trends and predictions of
what the next element will be. This is the best one that connects. Students will
This strategy will work very well with this tradebook. Since this book walks through each
of the elements and where they are on the periodic table, the different lists of words will
require students to pay close attention to the test and where the elements are placed on the
periodic table. Each list of words are related in some way to their place on the periodic table.
The lists could include families, trends, columns, rows, and classifications. The vocabulary that is
used in the lectures and in the tradebook need to be known. The lost are not straight forwards
so the students must critically think about how they all relate to each other.

This strategy allows student to become extremely creative. They will have to write a
letter coming from either a polar or nonpolar bond to the opposite. They must talk about
aspects of their types of bonds and their relationships with the opposite kind. They will also
have to include how they learned about their type of bond and how they will teach the
opposite type about themselves. This strategy is ideal for this text because it is so full of content
and important information that needs sorted through. Writing a letter to the opposite type of

5. Hguyen-Kim, Mai Thi., & Lenkova, Claire. (2022) Chemistry for Breakfast: The Amazing
Science of Everyday Life. Greystone.
Chemistry is everywhere. It is in every think we eat, make and even in the alarm
clock that wakes us up in the morning. There is chemistry in our stress hormones
and baking. This book breaks it all down into simple terms and ideas that allow
children to see how science is in their lives every day. Each of these everyday life
items, both mixtures will be included and could be determined by the students.
Graphic Organizer
Each student/group of students are given a piece of the book to read. The students will
use a graphic organizer to organize their topic within their section. The organizer will help
students know what to talk about and what part of the section are important. Since the
sections can be confusing, each group will then share their graphic organizers with the rest of
the class.
