Barnböcker med vatten som tema : En innehållsanalys utifrån ett kemi-och fysikperspektiv

Sammanfattning: In this study, 10 children’s books with water as a theme, for 1-6-year-olds have been reviewed through a content analysis, to get knowledge of how chemistry and physics are anchored and used in the books text. The results of the analysis showed a very weak use of science concepts while more everyday-words linked to water were used frequently. During the analysis, some texts in the books were considered, to be able to implement science concepts without disturbing the text flow. Why it seemed to have been avoided can possibly be linked to the different language usage and the society’s relationship to these.
