Hands-On Science: Ten Themes for the Whole Year
Turn to this resource year round for 10 highly-motivating, classroom tested science units that help students learn by doing. Lessons emphasize a participatory, problem-solving approach.
Pages are perforated for easy removal from the book and are reproducible, so each student can assemble his or her own 8-16 page lab book. Each lab book features a follow-up independent study activity. Children may work individually, in pairs or study groups.
The lab books are designed for ease and continuity in teaching, for the beginning and experienced teacher alike. They use common, everyday materials which can easily be found, obtained free, or purchased rather inexpensively.
Each unit contains a list of materials to use and
* Science process skills page -- observing, classifying, measuring, predicting, inferring and recording
* Instruction design page outlining clinical instruction applicable to lessons
* Teacher resource page stating the objectives of the unit, listing materials needed
* Reproducible student lab book for recording information
* Parent letter to encourage interaction between child and parent
