We're Different, We're the Same (Book)

We’re Different, We’re the Same  by: Bobbi Kates

When doing a science lesson that deals with the concept of sight and observation, I would read this book to my children.  This book draws on the fact that everybody is the same and different.  Children can then explore using their senses and make observations between themselves and others.  For example, give each child a hand lens and ask them to look at their hands.  Encourage them to then look at a friend’s hand.  Make comparisons.  Ask, “What do you see that is the same? Different?”
