Book: If You Give A Pig A Pancake by Laura Numeroff
Subject: Science and Math
"If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it." The cause and effect nature of this story lends itself well to the children making pancakes as they think and predict "If I add this pancake mix (solid) to the water (liquid), I get pancake batter (liquid)" and "If I add this pancake batter (liquid) to heat (hot pan), I get a pancake (solid)" I left the last sentence for the children to complete "If you give a child a pancake, you get . . . " Anne gave the perfect response - "Sticky!"
The children decided which syrup they like more blueberry or old fashioned. We used a graph to collect the information and to see which syrup was most preferred.
I prefer maple syrup. I wonder what other parents prefer. Maybe one of the children might like to create a mini data chart of parental preferences.
