A wonderful addition to any first or second grade science curriculum. This book was created especially for the busy teachers of young students. The hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities are sure to provide your students with fun-filled learning experiences.

The activities are full-color and will add some spice to the regular classroom material. The contents in the book provide a variety of ways to reinforce science concepts and skills while maintaining student interest. The activities are easy to implement with little or no preparation at all.

The activities are meant to support and be a resource for teachers as they teach these content skills. The activities provide review and practice in the following areas of science:

five senses and how they help us learn
living and nonliving things
plant parts and their functions
different environments or habitats of plants and animals
different characteristics of animals
life cycle of a plant, frog, or butterfly

water cycle
the sequence of seasons and what activities happen in each season

different kinds of dinosaurs and what facts scientists have learned about them
natural resources that are used by people
solids, liquids, and gases
magnets
sink and float

Each activity is set up with an easy-to-follow lesson. First, each lesson states the objective or learning skill and the materials needed. Most of the materials are provided inside this book. Next, the lesson outlines in what kinds of groupings the activity can be implemented. Most of the activities can be adapted in multiple ways and can be "custom tailored". They can be implemented as a whole class lesson, small group, partners, independently, or in a science center. The activities can also be adapted for a variety of student levels.

Suggestions are listed in the actual directions of the activity or they are suggested in the "Ideas" section. The "Ideas" section contains many helpful hints on such things as storage of materials or ideas to either enhance or extend the activity. Overall, the book is an asset to any first or second grade teacher.
