Mr. Newton, the science teacher, says
“You know, if you listen closely enough, you can hear the poetry of science in everything.”
After that, the main character, a boy in Mr. Newton’s class, is zapped with a curse of the science verse. He begins to hear everything as a science poem. The young boy hears poems about the water cycle, dinosaurs, the food chain and as his day goes by everything turns into a poem. He feels like he will never escape the curse, until suddenly he wakes up, is still in science class, and is cursed of the Science Verse.
I would use this book to connect science and language arts. If I was starting a unit on poetry in language arts I could use this book as a fun and creative example. Also, the poems are about a variety of science topics such as evolution, the water cycle, matter and animal food chains.
how does the water cycle poem go i need it for a school project i wrote a review on it and it was positive so i really need the poem
