Science Activities for Elementary Students, Eleventh Edition, a revision of George Lorbeer and Leslie Nelsonâ¬"s classic Science Activities for Children, gives instructors practical, fun, hands-on learning activities to help teach children about science and problem-solving skills. Each activity follows the same step-by-step format: Problem, Procedure, Result, Supplemental Information, and Thought Questions. The activities are accompanied by simple illustrations that help clarify procedures and expected results. With a total of nearly 600 activities in both spiral-bound books, future science teachers will find a wealth of ideas to help them become more effective in the classroom. Science Activities for Elementary School Children features basic, introductory activities while Science Activities for Middle School Children contains more rigorous, more challenging, higher-level science activities. The elementary text discusses basic ecology, while the middle school book has activities about the Greenhouse Effect, the Icehouse Effect, Ozone Depletion, and the Eutrophication of some of our fresh water supplies. Both texts are an excellent and comprehensive resource that future and practicing teachers of elementary science will want to keep at armâ¬"s length for ready reference.

Scientist of the Day by Linda Picciotto Pdf

Kids love science experiments! Scientist of the Day describes a program where each student has an opportunity to choose, practice, and present an experiment to his classmates. The book provides clear instructions for the teacher or parent and reproducible record-keeping forms. There are 46 different experiments written so that young scientists will know exactly what to do and when to pause to ask questions. This encourages his or her classmates to make predictions, hypothesize, and discuss what they observe. They all then record their observations by drawing on special forms. At the bottom of each experiment there is a brief explanation of the science behind it that is clear and correct. Students thoroughly enjoy watching and discussing these demonstrations, and some may be inspired to continue their studies to become "not just for a day" scientists!
