Teaching Science in Elementary Schools
50 Dynamic Activities That Encourage Student Interest in Science
Description
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.
