No-cost, easy-to-use activities that teach science concepts and develop scientific thinking! These standards-based hands-on, minds-on activities help students learn core physical science principles and the scientific method of investigation. Each activity is a 10- to 30-minute teacher-guided experiment in which students are prompted to verbalize their step-by-step observations, predictions, and conclusions. This is a great science program that makes teaching easy! Reproducible pictures or charts are included when needed, but the main focus is inquiry-based, hands-on science.
Preparation time is short, and most materials can be found around the home. Step-by-step procedures, questions, answer guidelines, and clear illustrations are provided. Practical applications at the end of each activity relate science concepts to real-life experiences.
