About the Book

This book provides teachers with 50 dynamic activities to teach science, through music, food, games, literature, community, environment, and everyday objects. The authors share tried and tested ideas from their collective 75 years of teaching experiences. For the busy teacher with little time to plan lessons, resources are provided that include guided worksheets for activities, pre, post and during ideas to accompany activities, and vocabulary and literature connections. With this book in hand, teachers can create opportunities for students to see science in application, and to think logically as they ask questions, test ideas, and solve problems.

Review :
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. 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. 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!
