Reviews
This book on science activities provides some inexpensive ways to engage elementary students in thinking and doing science. The chapters cover a broad range of science topics to help teachers create thought-provoking lessons. The literature connections are great for those who want to teach across disciplines. -- Dr. Jeanine Huss, Professor, School of Teacher Education, Western Kentucky University I loved the format of this book! It is very user-friendly with great worksheets included. The Summary of Activities makes it easy to find science experiences quickly. This book is a must for elementary science teachers. -- Dr. Kathleen Matthew, Science Education Professor Emeritus, Black Hills State University I love this resource! The book offers many realistic activities that are well written, straightforward and use practical supplies that are readily available. As a teacher I don't have time to waste, so the breakdown and in-depth explanation of the topic, vocabulary associated with the topic and activity that corresponds is so beneficial. The activities all include multiple book titles that can be read to further the lesson and/or activity. I can't wait to use these lessons in my classroom! -- Anna Nicholas, 5th/6th grade teacher, Campbellsville Middle School, Campbellsville, KY
