Book Description
This is the second edition of Marvin N. Tolman’s bestselling book Hands-On Earth Science Activities for Grades K-6. Like all the books in The Science Problem-Solving Curriculum Library series, this revised edition offers compelling activities that help teach students thinking and reasoning skills along with basic science concepts and facts. The book’s activities follow the discovery/inquiry approach and encourage students to analyze, synthesize, and infer based on their own hands-on experiences. This new edition includes an expanded Teacher Information section, inquiry-based models, and complex cooperative learning projects using materials found around the home. Many of the activities easily become great science fair ideas as well as activities that correlate with the national standards.
Designed to be user friendly, the book includes easy-to-use, hands on activities and is organized into eight sections:
Air
Water
Weather
The Earth
Ecology
Above the Earth
Beyond the Earth
Current Electricity

Simple and Informative, Mar 9 2006

This review is from: Hands-On Earth Science Activities for Grades K - 8 (Paperback)
I purchased all three of the science activity books to help fill in a homeschool science program. I think I could probably use these books alone as a science program. These are great experiments with enough background for the non-science person to teach from. They use largely materials that you have lying around the house, and when they ask for something less available, there is often another experiment with more common items that teaches the same concept. Very adaptable to the multi-age classroom that most homeschoolers have. It's very easy to make the lessons harder for older students while not "losing" the Kindergarteners.

I used this to teach science at our homeschool co-op. It was very easy and taught great principles. I will buy it again when my grandchildren are old enough to do the experiements.
