Summary: A great way to implement science in my classroom.
Review: I first saw this book in the resource center, where I attend college. I am a senior at Emporia State University in Kansas. I am majoring in Elementary Education. Presently, I am student teaching in a first grade classroom. When I saw this book, I new just by looking at the cover it would be wonderful. It is full of so many science activities. My favorite is the unit on apples. It describes great activities to do with your student from the seeds of the apple to the color of the apple. This book is full of hands on activities for young children, which is the basis of thier education. This book is definitely going into my classroom library. I will use it for my science lessons. I love this book. Laura Colstrom 1st grade teacher

Summary: My favorite Science resource by far
Review: I've used and owned many other science resource books over the years (as a former home daycare owner, and now homeschooling mom) but this has been my favorite out of all of them.

Sorted by category (which not all resource books are!) this book is easy to use, has ample instruciton for the teacher and more than plenty activities/experiments to choose from.

Whether you pick and choose from throughout the book in a hodge-podge sort of way, or you use the book straight through with "science themes" this book will provide you more ideas than you can use. One of the very few science books for this age group that I've seen that provides reproducibles for many of the acitivities.
