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.
