About SimplyScience

Shirley Duke

Welcome to you all. This blog is for anyone who loves books and wants to include more science and reading into their children’s literature and lessons. I’ll review newly published books, along with some not so new, and suggest simple science ideas that can be incorporated into your lessons that can accompany the books I discuss. Join me each week for some science books I love with fresh ideas that can help you add more science to your library, home, or classroom activities.
