10 Force and Motion Books for Kindergarten
This list of force and motion books for Kindergarten is a great way to encourage STEM concepts in your classroom. By integrating STEM and literacy, this is another avenue to bring these concepts to life for young learners.
When planning out units for the primary students in my K-5 STEM classroom, I use a three part structure: Mini Project, STEM Stations and STEM & Stories. This model integrates standards and exposes students to a variety of experiences that relate to the content.
In fact, I go in depth with this model in my K-2 STEM Virtual Planning Workshop, which you can join HERE.

Force and Motion Books for Kindergarten: Ricky, the Rock That Couldn't Roll by Mr. Jay
Ricky, the Rock That Couldn't Roll by Mr. Jay
From Amazon.com “From zippy little pebbles to big strong boulders, the rock friends get together to play and roll around their favorite hill, only to find that one of their friends, Ricky, can't roll with them. Unlike all of the other rocks, who are all round, Ricky can't roll because he's flat on one side. Determined not to leave their friend behind, the rocks set out to help Ricky roll – one way or another.”
