Books with author Connie Lin

Have you ever wondered how the Easter Bunny got his start? How crazy does a rabbit have to be to hop into your yard once a year just to scatter painted eggs and candy for you to find? It’s fun, and the candy is great, but you might be surprised to learn that the first visit from the Easter Bunny was actually a carefully planned assault on people by a colony of ruffled rabbits.After finding a “lucky rabbit’s foot” and a poisonous chocolate bar left out by the people children, Bubba Bunny feels meaner than a sidewinder on a slide. He has had enough. Now Bubba is out for revenge – but will hurting the people really make him feel better?With charming art and humor that will delight both children and adults, Connie L shares an important message about learning to understand others instead of assuming the worst and resolving issues without resorting to bullying. Life and chocolate are both much sweeter when we try to make others happy.

This hands-on activity lets students assume the role of crime scene investigators as they use science to examine the evidence and find the guilty person. After the crime scene is presented, students use observation, critical thinking, and basic chemistry to determine which of the suspects took the missing lunch. The unit includes instructions for setting up the crime scene and the seven analysis stations, as well as worksheets for recording the results of students' experiments and analyzing the outcomes. Combining science, observation, reading, thinking, and note taking, this simulation is easy to use and will challenge students to use higher order thinking skills. Allow your students to solve more mysteries with Crime Scene Detective, Detective Club, Mystery Disease, The Great Chocolate Caper, and The Loose Caboose. Grades 3-5
