Childrens science book errors

Here is a pretty decent site (it sure is ugly though) on some of the scientific misperceptions spread by childrens science books.
Below is a collection of misconceptions I collected from science textbooks
at the Kindergarten to 6th grade levels. Since physics is my specialty,
errors involving this topic stand out for me, and the major part of the
list involves physics misconceptions. (There may be misconceptions in
other subjects, but I never "unlearned" them, and therefor cannot see
them!)
