Goat and Hen try to get across the moat. They try building different types of boats to find out which one with work. Could be used in science class to teach scientific process - making predictions, testing it out, drawing conclusions.

I'll have to keep this one in mind for when I'm doing a sink or float STEAM Saturday. It would be a great one to read.

Archie, the goat, tries to figure out how to float across the moat. He tries several ideas (none of which include using the drawbridge) until he discovers what will float effectively across the moat.
This would be a good book choice when teaching the principle of floatation.

Matthew Cordell gets his Quentin Crisp on to illustrate a funny, sciencey little book about an eccentric goat and a skinny, long-suffering chicken.

"This is no time for a drawbridge! This is a time for science!" Who wouldn't love a book with a goat that gleefully makes such a statement? Great supplemental text for elementary units on floating vs. sinking and to talk to kids about having a growth mindset.
