Prepare students for the new science assessment tests. Helps build many essential science and reading skills. This engaging teacher resource book is organized into 20 six-page lessons. The book covers four content areas: earth, life, health, and physical science. Each of the four content areas has five lessons. Each lesson includes a two-page article adapted from Weekly Reader magazine or from Science Spin magazine. Each article is accompanied by a two-page reading comprehension and vocabulary activity and by a two-page hands-on science activity that gives students practice to reinforce concepts contained in the articles. More and more educators are demanding materials to ensure that students are prepared for the new science assessments. Science Skill Builders reflects the type of reading passages that students will see on standardized science tests. It also helps students develop competency in science content and skills with practical, hands-on application of scientific principles through classroom experiments and observation. The 20 six-page lessons in each book:
Reproducible, 8 1/4" x 10 7/8", 128 pages, b&w.
Grade Level: First and Second Grade
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:
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. Pages: 176 Grade Level: First, Second, Third
This book ventures into all three areas of science study: life (e.g., growth, food chains, and habitats), earth (e.g., air, soil, and water), and physical (e.g., matter, light, and force). Each experience has been designed to be quick and easy. With only minor or no preparation required, children are introduced to science experiences which are amazing, exciting, and intellectually stimulating. Experiment with air pressure, homemade chemicals, gravity, and
water to discover principles of physical science. Simple Science Fun begins to teach children the value of decision-making, which will become a necessary skill as they grow. Pages: 160 Grade Level: Second - Third Grade
