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
